Description

This book explores the gendered and racial lived everyday and sporting experiences of Brown migrant young women and girls in Fiji. The author empirically employs a novel visual and arts-based research methodology (ABRM) and arts-based method (ABM) to collect and present the data. Carefully woven non-fiction creative pieces sourced from semi-structured interviews and reflexive ethnographic observations from fieldwork bring to the forefront the voices of Indo-Fijian women and girls. Using an intersectional approach from Gayatri Spivak to Nirmal Puwar, Raewyn Connell and Judith Butler, the author illuminates the triple layer of the marginalities Indo-Fijian women and girls experience in the sporting arena within a settler-colonial context. The book shows the agency of young athletic Indo-Fijian women and how they collectively challenge hegemonic masculinities in sports. This highly timely and original book therefore contributes qualitative intersectional research to the growing body on literature of sporty women of colour in the Global South. It thus appeals to scholars and students of sociology of sports, race and ethnicity, diaspora studies, gender studies, anthropology, as well as the history of Oceania and South Asia.
