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. In my work here I take ten black African (im)migrant athletes as a conceptual starting point in order to analyze and interrogate discursive representations of blackness, anti-black racism and global white supremacy, in a transnational manner. The athletes examined in my research here are Hakeem Olajuwon, Dikembe Mutombo, Didier Drogba, Mario Balotelli, Tegla Loroupe, Christian Okoye, Mwadi Mabika, Catherine Ndereba, Tirunesh Dibaba, and Tamba Hali. As athletic celebrities competing in the West, these athletes are wrapped in social and cultural meanings by predominantly white owned and dominated media organizations with histories of white supremacist discourse. Using an approach grounded in discourse analysis and cultural studies, I analyze the various power relations, via media texts, surrounding the athletes above as it regards race, gender, sexuality, class, and nationality. My aim throughout is to better understand which discourses are privileged and which are marginalized in the representations of black African migrant athletes. Additionally, with more recent black African immigration often conceived as a 'new' African diaspora, I engage with diasporic studies in order to theorize how the representations of black African athletes may impact the possibilities for diasporic communication, identity, and politics. Whereas previous African diaspora studies have tended to focus on the experiences and importance of African Americans, especially in sport, I argue that black African athletes in the U.S. and Europe are now equally significant to those recent immigrant communities in the West, ii not to mention their home countries. Black African migrant athletes, as highly visible actors, are potential points around which black immigrants can create or maintain a positive identity as 'Black' and/or 'African'. To do this, I focus on the inconsistencies, slippages or 'cracks', in the hegemonic media discourse and elsewhere where we can see the importance of these athletes to black immigrants which is otherwise hidden or made invisible. In a context that has seen black immigrant communities face recent increases in racial discrimination and violence, uncovering the cultural resources that help these communities struggle against white supremacy is important. Hence, in this interdisciplinary study I engage with various academic areas and theories in order to gain better insight into the workings and politics of anti-black racism, immigration, and diaspora in globalized sport. iii To my parents and Sarah iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my parents for their years of love, support, and guidance.

As sport increasingly globalizes, a rising number of athletes are migrating to fill the talent needs of various sports around the world. However, this labor migration is currently dominated by black athletic labor movement from the global South to, primarily, the U.S. and Western European countries. This trend makes sense given current global economic developments and, despite increasing rules and regulations, shows no signs of slowing down. The hegemonic ideology surrounding sport is that it exists as a social good by bringing different peoples together, ameliorating social differences, and inherently developing desirable moral values. However, sport historians, philosophers, and sociologists have shown this apolitical ideology to be a utopian ideal. Instead, academics see sport as a contested terrain for both maintaining and challenging socio-cultural norms and boundaries, especially so as it regards race and the black athlete in body and Western culture. That most individuals in the U.S. and Europe access sport through a Western media that perpetuates the hegemonic norms and cultural values of neoliberalism means that discourses on black athletes have tended to reinforce white supremacy. Media representations of the black athlete have thus always, for better or worse, impacted popular white perceptions of blackness in a broad manner (Hoberman 1997; 2000; Markovits and Rensmann 2010). However, while Western media outlets play an important role in the creation and maintenance of racist modes of black representation, they also give us glimpses of how black athletes, black African migrant athletes in particular, navigate and understand their lives in the West. By 'glimpses' I mean that there are inevitably inconsistencies, 'cracks' or 'slips', within the dominant, or hegemonic, media discourse(s) of black athletes which contradict the dominant discourse or reveal to us something seemingly innocuous yet filled with meaning (Hennessy 1993). If we are aware of the histories of black peoples around the world and their diasporic movements then we can use these cracks to interrogate the hegemonic discourse and construct a counter discourse. Combined with other materials such as interviews, presentations, and (auto)biographies, we can begin to piece together otherwise hidden and marginalized efforts of 1 meaning making and identity creation in the black diaspora and bring them to the forefront. The black African celebrity athlete, akin to the diasporic African American athletes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, stands as a focal point around which black communities in the diaspora, as well as in African countries, attach meaning. My work is about exploring the discursive practices of racism in Western sport media as it concerns black African migrant athletes. It is a project that deploys discourse analysis and a cultural studies approach in an attempt to understand how black African athletes navigate their lives and what they may mean to black African diasporic communities in the West.

  • The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks
    Strides Toward Equality: The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children’s Picturebooks Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah May Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Patricia Enciso Ruth Lowery Alia Dietsch Copyright by Rebekah May Bruce 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines nine narrative non-fiction picturebooks about Black American female athletes. Contextualized within the history of children’s literature and American sport as inequitable institutions, this project highlights texts that provide insights into the past and present dominant cultural perceptions of Black female athletes. I begin by discussing an eighteen-month ethnographic study conducted with racially minoritized middle school girls where participants analyzed picturebooks about Black female athletes. This chapter recognizes Black girls as readers and intellectuals, as well as highlights how this project serves as an example of a white scholar conducting crossover scholarship. Throughout the remaining chapters, I rely on cultural studies, critical race theory, visual theory, Black feminist theory, and Marxist theory to provide critical textual and visual analysis of the focal picturebooks. Applying these methodologies, I analyze the authors and illustrators’ representations of gender, race, and class. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which the portrayals of track star Wilma Rudolph in Wilma Unlimited and The Quickest Kid in Clarksville demonstrate shifting cultural understandings of Black female athletes. Chapter Three argues that Nothing but Trouble and Playing to Win draw on stereotypes of Black Americans as “deviant” in order to construe tennis player Althea Gibson as a “wild child.” Chapter Four discusses the role of family support in the representations of Alice Coachman in Queen of the Track and Touch the Sky.
