Personal score : sport, culture, identity
Neerven, Ellen van, 1990-2023
Book
Writer Ellen van Neerven plays football from a young age, learning early on that sport can be a painful and exclusive world. The more she plays, the more she realises about sport's troubled relationship with race, gender and sexuality - and question what it means to play sport on stolen, sovereign land, especially in the midst of multiple environmental crises. With emotional honesty and searing insight, van Neerven shines a light on sport on this continent from a queer First Nations perspective, revealing how some athletes have long challenged mainstream views and used their roles to effect change not only in their own realm, but in society more broadly.
