Grant Farred examines the connotations at play in these moments through the lenses of race, politics, memory, inheritance and conciliation, deploying a surprising cast of figures in Western thought, ranging from Jacques Derrida and Friedrich Nietzsche to Judith Butler, William Shakespeare, and Jesus-the-Christ. Farred makes connection and creates meaning through the forces at play and the representational burdens of team, country and race.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFarred considers Robinson's profane comments at black Dodgers fans, a post-match exchange of \"thank yous\" on the rugby pitch between white South African captain Fran輟is Pienaar and Nelson Mandela, and being \"haunted\" by the ghost of Derrida on the occasion of the first FIFA World Cup on African soil. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eThe Burden of Over-representation\u003c\/i\u003e provides a passionate, insightful analysis of the social, political, racial, and cultural consequences of conciliation at key sporting events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grant Farred\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439911436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439911433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2019","brand":"Grant Farred","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935009767679,"sku":"9781439911433","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_aabd7c8b-f37e-41ce-8355-b4ee6099116a.jpg?v=1681417326","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-burden-of-over-representation-grant-farred-9781439911433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
