Some kids are left behind: The failure of a perspective, using critical race theory to expand the coverage in the sociology of youth sports
Sports are no longer simply extracurricular activities. For many children, sports are curricular, central to their identity, development, and peer and familial relationships.

Desi Hoop Dreams: Pickup Basketball and the Making of Asian American Masculinity
Scrub: Using Multi-Site Analysis to Analyze the Status System among Basketball Players
Conducting ethnographic fieldwork in varied spaces, with different actors, enriches our understanding.

An occupational niche is two-way; a g…

Putting the Blessings on him”: Vouching and Basketball Status Work
While being a basketball player is an important identity for kids, it is also an abiding interest for some black men in Philadelphia. Identity is a collective action, created through group interaction and made public through interaction in which friends “vouch” for each other. The criteria for social position and having high social status do not always transfer across social spaces; rather, the space and those who interact in it negotiate and det…
