Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black experience throughout the history sport has engendered significant transformations to the landscape and culture of both sport and society. However, in the present sociocultural climate of intercollegiate athletics, the disproportion of Black male student athletes in the revenue generating high profile sports have a unique experience in sport unlike their athlete and non-athlete counterparts. The uniqueness of these student athletes' experiences exists in the ways in which they figure to negotiate their Blackness and their roles as an athlete and student contextualized within the current racial climate of sport culture. There remains a gap in existing literature and research of the conditions and lived experiences of Black student athletes concerning the developmental process of racial identity and its relationship with their athletic identities and academic self-concepts. The present research addresses this gap of knowledge about these stakeholders (i.e. the Black male student athlete) in sport by conducting a mix-methods study exploring the issues of identities, academic self-concept, and developing a deeper understanding based on the experiential knowledge of participants. The relationships between racial and athletic identity and academic self-concept were examined with a participant sample of Black male college football players at Division 1-A universities (N=255). Additionally, a qualitative instrumental case study grounded by Critical Race Theory explored the experiences and perceptions of eleven Black male student athletes participating in high profile athletic programs at predominately White institutions. The research findings indicate at least partial evidence of a relationship between pre-encounter assimilationist and miseducation attitudes with academic self-concept mediated by an elevated athletic identity of participants. There were five themes that emerged from the empirical materials. The themes are presented as: Lane Assignments, Allegiance to the Game versus Classroom, Race Matters??, Conformity, and Still at Work. This research illustrates that the identity, academic self-concepts and experiences of the Black male student athlete in college sport is vastly impacted by complex sociocultural systems. Findings suggest intercollegiate athletic support staff should purposefully accommodate the needs and experiences of student athletes with culturally relevant systems of practice to enhance student athlete development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Education of Black Males in a ‘Post-Racial’ World examines the varied structural and discursive contexts of race, masculinities and class that shape the educational and social lives of Black males. The contributing authors take direct aim at the current discourses that construct Black males as disengaged in schooling because of an autonomous Black male culture, and explore how media, social sciences, school curriculum, popular culture and sport can define and constrain the lives of Black males. The chapters also provide alternative methodologies, theories and analyses for making sense of and addressing the complex needs of Black males in schools and in society. By expanding our understanding of how unequal access to productive opportunities and quality resources converge to systemically create disparate experiences and outcomes for African-American males, this volume powerfully illustrates that race still matters in 'post-racial' America. This book was originally published as a special issue of Race Ethnicity and Education.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors in the current literature have identified Christian faith to be a notable factor of the identity development of Black male adolescents. Researchers have shown that spirituality and religion can specifically provide support and dependency, coping mechanisms, anchored identity, perseverance, and resilience in the lives of African American male college students. Researchers have also indicated that a relationship exists between athletic identity and the racial identity of Black male collegiate student-athletes. Race and athletics have a potent influence on African American male identity. The inability for African American males with a high athletic identity to fulfill the athletic role related to their race can lead to psychological and social issues. Although people from different ethnical and racial backgrounds acclaim the Christian faith, other factors (e.g., class, race, and gender) can influence the way individuals internalize their religious belief. African Americans typically embrace the value of religion because of its liberating power, reliance of God, and practical principles in life. Experiences of race-related encounters for many African American males in college has caused them to search for emotional support, spiritual guidance, and meaning in life. Nevertheless, there remains a gap in existing literature on the impact of the intersectionality of race, athletics, and Christian faith on the lived experiences of Black male adolescents. Considering the complexity and intricacies of Black male adolescence, the relationships of Christian faith, sports, and race to it warrants exploration. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how the Christian faith of adolescent Black male student-athletes affect their athletic and racial identity. The relationship between Christian faith, athletic identity, and racial identity was examined with a participant sample of Black male adolescent student athletes in high school (N = 330) who were Ages 13-18 years. The participants completed the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale, the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity-Teen, and the abbreviated Santa Clara Questionnaire. Additionally, a qualitative phenomenological study that was grounded by critical race theory and identity theory was used to explore the experiences of a selected group of participants. Semistructured individual and group interviews were administered to investigate the relationship of the three factors

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On college campus across the nation, student-athletes represents a unique group among the student population. Black male student-athletes are an overrepresented group among the student-athlete population, representing more than a quarter of all student-athletes. Previous research has explored the impact of athletic identity on student-athletes, as well as the academic success of Black male student-athletes. Due to the high number of Black males participating in intercollegiate athletics and the lack of research related to their mental health experiences, the goal of this study was to examine the impact of athletic identity on the experiences of Black male student-athletes and the mental health implications that came as a result of those experiences. Six Black male former student-athletes were interviewed and revealed major themes and experiences related to athletic identity, on-campus experiences, and mental health. The interviews provided information that could prove useful in developing techniques and programs that could assist this population during and after their college careers.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined the self-perceptions of African American male student-athletes in regards to academic abilities, athletic role, and ethnicity. More specifically, this investigation explored how academic self-concept, athletic identity, and racial identity are related to the academic performance of 101 African American male student-athletes. In addition, differences in institutional affiliation (i.e., Historically Black University and Predominantly White University) and academic level (i.e., underclassmen and upperclassmen) were examined. The participants were administered four instruments: (a) the Academic Self-Concept (ASCS), (b) the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), (c) the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (MIBI), and (d) the Student-Athlete Questionnaire. Results of this investigation revealed that African American male student-athletes with higher levels of athletic identity had more confidence about their academic abilities and had significantly higher cumulative grade point averages. The more African American male student-athletes identified strongly and exclusively with the athlete role the less likely they were to commitment to an ideology that emphasizes commonalities of all human beings (i.e., humanist). In addition, African American male student-athletes who had higher academic self-concept scores had significantly higher cumulative grade point averages. As for Racial Ideology, African American male student-athletes attending the Predominantly White University reported significantly higher Assimilation, Humanist, Oppressed Minority, and Nationalist subscale scores. Finally, the results for athletic identity showed a three-way interaction among university affiliation, academic level, and sport participation. Given the unique educational experience of African American male student-athletes, it is imperative for academic advisors and other counseling professionals to apply the information obtained from this study to developin.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore how African American male student athletes developed their athletic and racial identity and how this impacted their academic identity. I conducted two in depth interviews with 6 African American male current or former student athletes who played basketball or football in high school but were not eligible to be a NCAA qualifier for an athletic scholarship. I sought to investigate the point when the student athletes began their career in athletics and when athletics began to impact their academic performance and why it impacted academic performance. I also investigated how the African American male student athlete began to develop identity and how athletic and racial identity impacted the development of their academic selves.

Book excerpt: Related to college students and student-athletes a wealth of knowledge exists surrounding the relationship of identity salience and context. However, this literature remains limited when discussing the enactment of identity. One avenue to examine the enactment of identity is through self-presentation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the self-presentation process within Black male student-athletes through an examination of identity and the relation to multiple contextual factors. To achieve this purpose, I utilized a constructivist grounded theory methodological approach, which was guided by a combination of constructivism and critical theory epistemological foundations. The study centered the perspectives of Black male student-athletes at historically white Division I institutions. Within this qualitative study, I collected data through individual interviews, a group interview, audio diaries, and tweets to capture data with 16 Division I Black male student-athletes. The study’s design and analysis were informed by critical race theory and Black critical theory, which served as sensitizing concepts that are integral within constructivist grounded theory. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative method. The outcome of this study was an emerging grounded theory on self-presentation and Black male student-athletes. The theory highlights the process of self-presentation as comprised of multiple components, which include a dynamic relationship between internal (intrapersonal) and external (inter/extrapersonal) factors and the ability of Black male student-athletes to make meaning of their identities in relation to self-presentation outcomes. Internal factors related to the ways Black male student-athletes understood themselves as it pertains to their identities. External factors represented how varying contexts influence how this population presents their identities, such as surrounding individuals or a business-like environment. Making meaning of identities in relation to self-presentation goals meant Black male student-athletes made decisions on how to present themselves based on varying levels of influence in the areas of critical racial consciousness; social associations related to racial, athletic, and student identities; and internal conflict. Based on the influence of the multiple components, participants were found to present themselves in four distinct forms: Complete, Partial Self as Form of Navigational Capital, Code-Switching, and Form of Resistance. Using the theory as its basis, the Model of Self-Presentation for Black Male Student-Athletes was created to organize and operationalize the multiple component processes. Ultimately, the theory and Model highlighting the self-presentation process for Black male student-athletes have implications for higher education institutions, college athletic departments, and Black male athletes themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth Maurice Tyler identifies and describes the multiple identity components of young African American men using theoretical and empirical literatures from education and the social sciences. Identity and African American Men: Exploring the Content of Our Characterization provides a comprehensive, research-based account of the ideologies and mindsets of many young African American men. The book critically discusses eight identity components that young African American men begin to negotiate during their adolescent years. These identity components include gender, sexual, racial, ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, athletic, and academic identity. Identity and African American Men makes a unique contribution to the literature by offering a conceptual framework that identifies the multiple identity components possessed by young African American men. Such a framework expands the conversation about African American men and their behaviors by broadening the understanding of who these individuals are, the identities they possess, and how their identity-based attitudes and orientations may influence the behaviors exhibited by them.

Download or read book African Americans in Sports written by Gary A. Sailes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on African American athletes generally fo-cuses on negative stereotypes of physical prowess, and socially controversial themes. Most studies in-vestigate racism, prejudice, discrimination, and ex-ploitation experienced by African American athletes. Many studies contrast African American and white athletes on a number of variables that support pre-vailing elitist stereotypes and denigrate African Ameri-can athletes. But few studies investigate the diverse and complex cultural dichotomies within the infrastruc-ture of sport in the African American community. Gary Sailes maintains that it is crucial to develop a more eclectic and immersed cultural approach when investigating African American involvement in com-petitive sports. The contributors to 'African Americans in Sports' show that there are also intrinsic cultural paradigms that are evident, presenting an informa-tive and interesting narrative regarding African American athletes. The chapters that make up this volume were written by noted scholars who were selected based on their expertise in their specific academic areas. They write about different components of the experience of African American male athletes. Chapters and contributors include: "Race and Athletic Performance: A Physiological Review" by David W. Hunter; "The Athletic Dominance of African Americans--Is There a Genetic Basis?" by Vinay Harpalani; "African American Player Codes on Celebration, Taunting, and Sportsmanlike Conduct" by Vernon L. Andrews; and "Stacking in Major League Baseball" by Earl Smith and C. Keith Harrison. Many chapters were originally published as a special issue of the 'Journal of African American Men.' This volume should be read by all those involved in athletics, as well as by sports sociologists and African American studies scholars.
