‘I would like to make a thing clear’: The double crossover as a metaphor for Black and queer women’s labour struggles in global basketball
As they compete in leagues around the world, elite women’s basketball players continually adjust to new cultures, rules, and contracts. In Double Crossover: Gender, Media, and Politics in Global Basketball (University of Illinois Press), Courtney M. Cox follows athletes, coaches, journalists, and advocates of women’s basketball as they pursue careers within the sport. María Teresa Ortiz Romero is our reviewer, and for her the book succeeds in opening important avenues for reflection on the conditions under which women athletes live and work, as well as the forms of resistance they collectively promote.
