Informed by whiteness studies, Kyle Kusz’s groundbreaking book examines the role that sport discourses play in reproducing a central, normative, and superior position for white masculinity in American culture and society at the turn of the twenty-first century. Specifically, Kusz illuminates how the American sports media – through cover stories detailing the so-called disappearance of the white (male) athlete in American sports or the rise of extreme sports – produced a set of contradictory images of white masculinity as victimized and unprivileged, yet superior and squarely centered in American culture, that shaped and were shaped by a broader cultural struggle to re-secure white male privilege.
The Author: Kyle W. Kusz is Assistant Professor of Kinesiology at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston. He earned his Ph.D. in the socio-cultural study of sport and physical activity, as well as a graduate minor in cultural studies and interpretive research, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has written on the cultural politics of sport formations, athlete-celebrities, and sport films.
