This book examines how sport and leisure have the capacity to impact on our understanding and experience of culture, protest, and social change.The temporal dimensions of sport and leisure across different, but interdependently connected socio-political lifeworlds, demonstrate the ways in which popular cultural and sub-cultural forms intersect across temporal periods, which then force us to stretch and problematise the relationship between sport, leisure, and sociology. Bringing together chapters from experts on topics such as the modern Olympic studies, the sociology of English and US soccer, and feminist cultural studies, this collection presents new empirical and theoretical insights into the mobilizations and collective behaviours of sports athletes and fans on equal pay, environmental destruction, disability rights, safety and securitisation, and anti-Olympic opposition.This collection seeks to address one of the most under-researched lifeworlds in the study of protest, activism and social movements: the construction of relational collective identities in and through sport and leisure. Sport, Activism and Social Movements is an essential text for scholars and students interested in sport and leisure, protest, social movements and activism.
