    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository ANTI-BLACK RACISM AND THE FOREIGN BLACK OTHER: CONSTRUCTING BLACKNESS AND THE SPORTING MIGRANT BY MUNENE FRANJO MWANIKI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Margaret Kelley, Chair Professor Tim Liao Associate Professor Moon-Kie Jung Associate Professor Monica McDermott ABSTRACT The popularity and globalization of sport has led to an ever-increasing black athletic labor migration from the global South to, primarily, the U.S. and Western European countries. While the hegemonic ideology surrounding sport is that it brings different people together and ameliorates social boundaries, sociologists of sport have shown this to be a gross simplification. Instead, sport is often seen to reinforce and recreate social stereotypes and boundaries, especially as it regards race and the black athlete in body and culture. At best we can think of sport as a contested terrain for both maintaining and challenging racial norms and boundaries. The mediated black athlete has thus always, for better or worse, impacted popular white perceptions of blackness broadly and globally. While much work has been done to expose the workings of race and racism in sport, studies have tended to homogenize black populations and have not taken into account the varying histories and complexities of, specifically, black African migrant athletes.

  • STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose
    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE No one should be forced to choose between her personal safety and dignity, and her job. But too often in the theater community this is exactly the choice that women must make. Sexual discrimination and harassment and gender-based violence often occur in the intimate and physical context of a theater production. Victims of such conduct face a stark choice between continuing to work in close collaboration with their abuser and quitting the show. Few can afford to give up a job and lose not only income, but also the opportunity for career advancement. There is a sense in the community that it is not necessarily in a victim’s best interest to report abuse because of fear that the response will be insufficient and open her up to retribution. In addition, many instances of abuse happen outside of the physical boundaries of a theater. No theater, union or guild currently takes responsible for handling such cases. However, the two people involved will most likely have to work together the next day or in another production, and the victims are left to deal with the aftermath by themselves. In the face of these realities, victims often choose silence and the abuse is allowed to continue. It is time for the theater community to break its own silence on harassment and abuse and formally address the problem. The reality is that those who behave abusively are generally in positions of power. Artistic directors hold the power to employ, playwrights have hiring approval; removing a director mid-rehearsal puts an entire production in doubt; losing a celebrity from the cast hurts ticket sales.

  • The Great Race––Officially Renamed the Richard S
    GREAT RACE BY MARY GILBERT n September 25, 1977, some 400 intrepid men and women clad in Fit and Fabulous shorts, T-shirts, and athletic shoes congregated just outside Frick Park along Beechwood Boulevard near South Dallas Avenue. They had assembled to take part in a new venture— running the 6.2-mile Great Race. Then-mayor Richard S. Caliguiri, a Greenfield native who conceived of the 10K road race as a community fun run, purposely situated the start line outside his own front door. Following a mostly downhill course, runners passed through Squirrel Hill and Point Breeze, at 40 fringing Shadyside via a quick turn from Forbes Avenue onto Morewood Avenue. They pro- ceeded down Fifth Avenue through meds-and-eds-dense Oakland and the Lower Hill, taking in the sweeping panorama of the Monongahela River from Boulevard of the Allies before finishing Downtown in the grassy flatland of Point State Park. Carl Hatfield of Phillip, West Virginia, was the winner. Finishers received numbered popsi- cle sticks as timing devices to inform them of their places, a precursor to the numbered Frisbees used the following year. Fast forward to 2017. The Great Race––officially renamed the Richard S. Caliguiri City of Pittsburgh Great Race in 1993 to honor its founder, who died in 1988––is celebrating its 40th anniversary on September 24. While elements of the Great Race have changed over four decades, the East End still whole- heartedly offers the unwavering support critical to its longevity, from anchoring the start, to busi- nesses providing cheering sections, to residents setting up bands on their front porches and even allowing runners to use the bathrooms in their homes.
