Description

From gladiators in ancient arenas to athletes with raised fists on Olympic podiums, Power & Protest traces the electrifying, often dangerous intersection of sport and social justice across more than a century. In thirty-two vivid, deeply researched chapters, this sweeping narrative uncovers how athletes have used their platforms to confront racism, sexism, nationalism, colonialism, corruption, and climate injustice-sometimes in defiance of courts, leagues, or sponsors.
Drawing on powerful case studies, locker-room dramatizations, public-opinion polling, and real-world protest timelines, this is a gripping account of the courage it takes to speak out when the world wants you to just play the game. Whether it's Muhammad Ali refusing the draft, WNBA players boycotting for Black lives, or esports streamers calling out oil-funded sponsors, these stories pulse with urgency, strategy, and sacrifice.
Power & Protest is both history and handbook-a definitive account of how sport became one of the most visible battlegrounds for freedom, fairness, and change.
