Abstract

Black bodies swaddled in Italian ags represent the reality of Italian sport nowadays. Drawing on a doctorate degree, ethnographical research among black and/or migrant back- ground athletes playing sport at high levels. The research in- vestigates how these athletes call into question the process of de ning Italian identity. Black Italians in predominantly white spaces continuously negotiate their inclusion in sport- ing contexts. Using an intersectional approach, in a racialized and gendered space like sport, can be useful for critically analyzing the multiple and simultaneous interconnections be- tween power, identity and discrimination.
