Secondly, it examines the adaptation of sport organisations to the 'refugee crisis', including the culture, programmes and structures that promote or obstruct sport for refugees. Thirdly, the book looks at sport in refugee sites, and how sport can be used as therapy, an escape or empowerment for refugees but also how it can reinforce the divisions between staff and the refugees themselves. Finally, the book looks at how forced migration influences and is influenced by participation in elite sport, by examining the biographies of elite migrant athletes. A richly descriptive, critical and illuminating piece of work, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport, migration, sociology or the relationship between sport and wider society. 2023-01-26T13:30:26Z 2023-01-26T13:30:26Z 2023 book 9781003370673 9781032441412 9781032441436 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/60896 eng Routledge Focus on Sport, Culture and Society application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 9781000871302.pdf Taylor & Francis Routledge 10.4324/9781003370673 10.4324/9781003370673 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb 9781003370673 9781032441412 9781032441436 Routledge 143 open access
