Article Abstract: "Who Da Man?: Black Masculinities and Sporting Cultures will be exciting to scholars working in the fields of decolonisation studies, cultural studies, and the sociology of identity, sport, and politics. It attempts to account for the ways that Black Diasporic identifications intersect with the dominant misogyny and homophobia in contemporary men's sporting cultures." "Abdel-Shehid suggests that thinking about Diaspora in the making of contemporary Black sporting cultures provides a more comprehensive framework than one that looks at sport solely within the framework of nations and nationalism. He further argues that Canadian hegemonic ideas and practices typically marginalize blackness and Black peoples; thus, Black masculinities in sport are often connected to Diasporic locations. These connections can be either empowering or disempowering, requiring careful analysis to achieve full understanding of how things are being perceived, projected, and therefore implemented." "Who Da Man? offers a feminist and queer reading of Black masculinity. Moreover, the book asks to what extent homophobia and misogyny within men's sporting cultures influence contemporary understandings of Black masculinity."--Jacket
