Grant Farred All Books: Race & Sport sku-319992641
No rating yet(0 reviews)Grant Farred's hardcover The Burden of Over-representation: Race, Sport, and Philosophy is listed under All Books as SKU sku-319992641. Farred examines race, politics, memory, inheritance and conciliation through Jackie Robinson's profane remarks to Black Dodgers fans at a spring training game; the exchange of thanks between François Pienaar and Nelson Mandela after the 1995 rugby World Cup in South Africa; and a moment at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the first held in Africa, that he describes as being haunted by Jacques Derrida's ghost.
He draws on Derrida, Friedrich Nietzsche, Judith Butler, William Shakespeare and Jesus-the-Christ to consider the representational burdens of team, country and race and the social, political, racial and cultural consequences of conciliation at sporting events.
