Dreaming the impossible : the battle to create a non-racial sports world
Bose, Mihir, 1947-2022
Books, Manuscripts
The #blacklivesmatter movement has put prejudice under the microscope and made everyone examine the issue of race from all angles - 'Dreaming the Impossible' is a book of racism in British sports which answers the question as to whether we can get to a truly non-racial sports world. The British, who are rightly, proud of the sports the world plays, are now having to come to terms with the dark past of racism in sport. This conscious and unconscious racism has for decades blighted the lives of talented Black and Asian talent and prevented them from fulfilling their potential as competitors, coaches and administrators. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of sport and his own personal experience of racism, Mihir Bose examines the way racism has affected Black and Asian sportsmen and women and how attitudes have evolved over the past fifty years.
