Tackling the Everyday

Race and Nation in Big-Time College Football

Contenu

"Both scholarly and intimate, Tracie Canada deftly takes us into the world of college football through the lived experiences of its players. Canada also homes in on how those experiences are affected by an often-cruel world. Tackling the Everyday is like no college football book I have read, precisely because it is about so much more than the game itself. Destined to be a classic."—Dave Zirin, sports editor at The Nation and author of The Kaepernick Effect

"Much has been written about college football, describing both its ongoing appeal to fans and its exploitation of players. Canada's book offers a brilliant Black feminist contribution to the literature on sports, race, and gender. She centers the everyday experiences of Black college football players, focusing on how they navigate the institutions and structures that organize their lives, from the football field to their classes. Canada uniquely focuses on the networks of care, friendship, love, and intimacy that they forge and rely on for support and sustenance. Tackling the Everyday is essential reading for any scholar—or fan—interested in race and sports."—Jennifer C. Nash, author of How We Write Now: Living with Black Feminist Theory

"This brilliant ethnography captures the lives of young men as they unfold on and off the gridiron, bringing valuable Black feminist theorization of Black masculinities to how players navigate everyday systems predicated on anti-Blackness. Powerful."—Lisa Uperesa, author of Gridiron Capital: How American Football Became a Samoan Game
