Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. This book offers a powerful reappraisal of the history of British boxing, revealing how the sport became both a platform for visibility and a site of struggle for migrants and minority individuals and communities. Focusing on the lived experiences of fighters, managers, promoters, and spectators, it traces how boxing intersected with issues of identity, integration, racism, and economic survival in modern Britain.Far from offering astraightforward route to success, boxing in Britain often reinforced the very barriers it seemed to break down. For many, the ring provided fleeting moments of recognition, but rarely lasting change. Systemicracism, exploitation, and economic hardship were ever-present realities, forcing migrant and minority participants to continually prove their worth in a sport and, indeed, a society that remained so often resistant to inclusion.Through vivid case studies and critical analysis, the book exposes how boxing frequently deepened feelings of cultural alienation and social marginalization. Yet it also highlights the resilience and defiance of those who used the sport to challengedominant narratives and carve out space for respect and belonging.Challenging conventional histories, this innovative and ground-breaking study reframes British boxing as morethan a sport--it was a contested arena where questions of race, ethnicity, migration, and national identity played out with brutal intensity. It is a vital contribution to the histories of sport, ethnicity, and postwar Britain. Through deep historical analysis and numerous compelling stories, the book unveils the complex dynamics of race, ethnicity, class, and nationality, shedding light on how boxing has shaped--and been shaped by--the struggles of those seeking to make their mark in British society.
