Sport and Social Exclusion in Global Society adds another layer to the growing body of literature in the sport for social change/development field. Three devoted academics and activists came together and shared their experiences “on and off the field” highlighting social exclusion not only theoretically but also exhibiting successful practices on the ground. This book is valuable for experienced researchers in this area, those who are just beginning to understand its complexities, and practitioners who can appreciate the growth in theory, using it to change policies affecting their everyday work. It can also inform practitioners through the display of various programs already implemented which fight social exclusion globally.
