Disability in the Global Sport Arena: A Sporting Chance
Sport in the Global Society Contemporary Perspectives
Editor Jill M. Le Clair
Publisher Routledge, 2013

"Sport is often at the centre of battles for rights to inclusion linked
to class, race and gender, and this book explores struggles centred on
disability in different cultural settings in Europe, North America,
Africa, Asia and Oceania. It challenges oversights and assumptions about
the normal body, and describes how individual and organizational
transformations can occur through sport. The abilities of a person are
recognised and placed centre stage - instead of the individual being
forgotten, excluded, or placed at the margins simply because they have a
disability.
National, regional and global change is part of the shift to the rights
based approach reflected in the 2006 UN Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities. Making sport inclusive affects the
accessibility of facilities, funding, the media, policies, programs,
organisations, sponsors and spectators, and at the same time changes the
cultural values of the wider society. It also raises issues about
competition access and eligibility for different and technologically
enhanced cyborg bodies, and for those most socially disadvantaged.
Addressing these questions which ultimately touch on the real meaning of
sport can lead to profound changes in peoples attitudes, and how sport is
organized locally and globally.
Growth in the influential global organisations of the Paralympic Games,
Special Olympics and Deaflympics is examined, as is the approach to
disability in sport in both advantaged and resource poor countries. The
embodied lives of persons with disabilities are explored utilizing new
theoretical models, perspectives and approaches.
This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in
Society."
