ABSTRACT

Embodiment, Identity and Disability Sport: An Ethnography of Elite Visually Impaired Athletes takes the reader on a journey with an elite level men’s visually impaired (VI) cricket team, allowing the reader to challenge the idealized notion of the sporting body through compelling ethnographic research analyses and discussions. Using an embodied theoretical approach, this book explores the complex and interconnected themes of identity, embodiment, empowerment and disability sport. Written in a captivating and innovative manner, this book is essential reading for those interested in the intersectionality of sport, disability and sociology.
