Contributors analyze how this activism speaks to the impact that athletes can have on raising awareness and the power they have to influence and rectify social injustices as they carry the baton to advance efforts that result in a more equitable social structure. This volume demonstrates the myriad ways in which athletes have conducted their social work both in the real world and the online sphere, addressing the spectrum of intersectional marginalization that exists in our society based on gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, ability, and class. Scholars of sports studies, communication, sociology, political communication, and gender studies will find this book of particular interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSocial Justice and the Modern Athlete: Exploring the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRole of Athlete Activism in Social Change\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMia Long Anderson, Editor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMia Long Anderson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Historical Foundations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1A Model Framework for Analysis of Elite Athletes’ Social Responsibility\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA.
