A Nation of Family and Friends?
Rutgers University Press (Verlag)
978-1-9788-3412-5 (ISBN)
Ratna also examines two key cultural objects - the popular films "Bend it Like Beckham" and “Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal” - to examine in detail the gendered representation of South Asian soccer players’ engagement in amateur and elite levels of the sport. She critiques studies of women’s football fandom and sport that fail to acknowledge social differences relating to race, class, age, disability, and sexuality. By linking the social forces (across time and space) that differentially affect their sporting choices and leisure lifestyles, Ratna portrays the women of the South Asian diaspora as active agents in the shaping of their life courses and as skilled navigators of the complexities affecting their own identities. Ultimately Ratna examines the intersections of class, caste, age, generation, gender, and sexuality, to provide a rich and critical exploration of British Asian women's sport and leisure choices, pleasures, and lived realities.
AARTI RATNA teaches and writes about race, gender, and popular culture, focusing on the sport and leisure engagements of British Asian girls and women. They co-edited Gender, Race and Sport: The Politics of Ethnic “Other” Girls and Women and are an associate professor in the Department of Social Sciences at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK.
