It relates the history of black players in the game, analyses the racism they have experienced, and evaluates the efficacy of anti-racist campaigns. The efficacy of the policing of racism is also assessed. The nationalism and xenophobia evident in much of the media's coverage of major tournaments is highlighted in the context of the way that English, Scottish and Welsh identities are constructed within British football.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56286610260341,"sku":"9780333964224","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780333964224_96b8270e-2b6b-4ea9-8a39-00ea58f3a169.jpg?v=1786013696"},{"product_id":"9781399014939","title":"Final Scrum","description":"After the terrible losses of The Great War, twenty years later the Second World War resulted in the death of some of the finest sporting icons. This book honours the ninety international rugby players who lost their lives. Fifteen were Scottish, fourteen English, eleven Welsh and eight Irish. Australia and New Zealand suffered with ten and two internationals killed respectively and France eight. Germany topped the list with nineteen. In the same way that the Authors best-selling Into Touch remembered the 130 Internationals lost in the First World War, Final Scrum gives an individual biography of each of the ninety with their international and club playing record as well as their backgrounds, details of their military careers and circumstances of their death. We learn where they are buried or commemorated together with at least one photograph of each player. Rugby enthusiasts will find this book a fascinating and moving record of the sacrifice of the finest young men of their generation who fought in the second worldwide conflict of the 20th Century.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":56298503242101,"sku":"9781399014939","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57685729018229,"sku":"9781473894501","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781399014939.jpg?v=1792598893"},{"product_id":"9781529605143","title":"Introduction to Policing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eAn extremely valuable source of reading, information, and guidance for my policing students.
