Download or read book Discourses of Globalisation Human Rights and Sports written by Joseph Zajda and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses major discourses of performing sports within human rights. Research findings data demonstrate that sports is an inequitable field today that has the potential to be a social change agent. There is more discussion about rights violations and what the fields of sports can do to be more rights-respecting, but the discussions are at a surface, rather than analytic level for most sports organizations. In sports, culture and human rights, as an emerging field, it is important to develop well crafter theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical body of knowledge. There is an academic discipline of sport that showcases its interdisciplinary nature. Linking sport to the field of human rights will require theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical evolution in this new discipline. There are both organizational, environmental and individual factors associated within the nexus of sports, athletes and human rights. This book links together sports and human rights in a systematic and analytical way. It contains chapters that discuss human rights policies in performing sports, from both organizational and interpersonal perspectives. The book focuses on the benefits of sports and the human rights and safety challenges within the operations of sports organizations and their impact on individual players.
Download or read book All American Redneck written by Matthew J. Ferrence and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2014-03-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the icon's foundations in James Fenimore Cooper's Natty Bumppo--'an ideal white man, free of the boundaries of civilization'--and the degraded rural poor of Erskine Caldwell's Tobacco Road, Matthew Ferrence shows how Redneck stereotypes were further extended in Deliverance, both the novel and the film, and in a popular cycle of movies starring Burt Reynolds in the 1970s and '80s, among other manifestations. As a contemporary cultural figure, the author argues, the Redneck represents no one in particular but offers a model of behavior and ideals for many. Most important, it has become a tool--reductive, confining, and (sometimes, almost) liberating--by which elite forces gather and maintain social and economic power. Those defying its boundaries, as the Dixie Chicks did when they criticized President Bush and the Iraq invasion, have done so at their own peril.

Download or read book Grandin Road written by C. W. Coleman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a near-fatal hunting accident, Jim Johnson started his second term as mayor of Grandin Road. It’s a challenging task, one that only a few can handle. Johnson isn’t used to arguments in the corporation boardroom and has always demanded undivided attention to the project at hand and those that take part in them. When the city council members become argumentative and downright hostile to his proposals, he calls on CW Coleman to settle the disputes between the members and himself. “Ain’t no damn fool going to stick his head in a gator’s mouth, and that’s just what you’d be doing if you cross Coleman,” he tells his daughter, Katie. Coleman, who is a member of the council by right but not an active participant, suddenly finds himself surrounded with a multitude of petty problems that he has no time for and far less patience. He and Johnson begin to resolve each issue in a timely fashion until one of his employees disappears. Johnson has an idea of who’s involved, but for reasons of his own, he hesitates to tell Coleman. The same reasons that his daughter, Katie, left Taylor County for twenty years. Johnson doesn’t want to reveal that there might be a mob connection and have to deal with Coleman’s reaction to that small fact.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paths I Chose is a story that begins as a prison journal that quickly morphs into a tale of a young black man whose life is shaped by experiences of his life. It all begins in South Florida and unfolds in the outlying suburban streets of downtown Atlanta, from the formative post-era civil rights years of his life. He encounters racism and inequality as an adolescence in schools and the military. Things don’t get better in life after transitioning back to civilian life and really trying to be the person he is expected to be. He also talks about the inhumane conditions and treatment of prisoners by guards and how prisons have been turned into industrial complexes that profit off inmates by leasing them out as laborers. This book contains stories about the rise or epidemic of drug use and sales in the city that he calls home, along with introductions to people who affect his. It also contains a decade-by-decade historical timeline from the 60s to the 2000s—complete with rumors, conspiracy theories, and interesting looks at history as it unfolds.
