REVOLT OF THE WHITE ATHLETE - KYLE KUSZ KARTONI...

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.
