Call for Papers | “Race, Sports and Protest: The Sporting Antecedents of Black Lives Matter”, Special Issue of Sport in History. Call ends December 31, 2020
We are looking for articles that assess the BLM protest movement in relation to its historical precursors in the sporting world – from the high-profile Black Power protests among sportspeople and teams of the 1960s and 70s through to the more recent protests at the start of the 21st century. In so doing, this special issue hopes to bring together important historical perspectives from which to view the events of more recent months.
