In the areas of sport policies, sport practices and sport scholarship, liberal\/reform approaches dominate, while the structural roots of injustice - racism, colonialism, misogyny, homophobia, disablism, homophobia and transphobia - remain largely unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUse and misuse of sport sciences contributes to this pattern, and the Olympic industry serves as the machine driving these forces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplying an intersectional analysis, the book examines issues of sex\/gender\/sexualities, disability, Global North\/Global South disparities, doping, and violence in all its forms. A discussion of action and outlaw sports as a route to empowerment is followed by an exploration of community-based initiatives and a model for physical activity that puts joy at the centre of human movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helen Jefferson Lenskyj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836625154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836625155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerald Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Helen Jefferson Lenskyj","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46881137328383,"sku":"9781836625155","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81029c15-0f4a-4391-9172-ef0860bb3d76.jpg?v=1747970787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-quest-for-social-justice-helen-jefferson-lenskyj-9781836625155","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
