en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 feb 2016 – vârsta până la 17 ani
Why isn't segregation based on sex illegal in sports just as race segregation is? This book examines the controversial issue, arguing that "separate but equal" is neither achievable nor constitutional.Will the creation of coed teams help mitigate issues of perceived sex discrimination in sports, or will equity among male and female athletes come from better enforcement of the "separate but equal" ideal? This book examines this highly charged issue, specifically challenging the effectiveness of Title IX and arguing that it be ousted in favor of sex integration. This is the first book to present both legal and social arguments for the elimination of sex segregation in sports and provide tangible solutions to address this issue. Authors Adrienne N. Milner and Jomills Henry Braddock II lay out the potential benefits of comingling male and female athletes, illustrating how this process may translate to greater sex equality in social, economic, and political contexts. In addition, this forward-thinking work offers specific recommendations for facilitating the integration of sexes in sports and discusses the importance of changing attitudes and ideology within the sports community and the general public to achieve this goal.

Recenzii

[A] thought-provoking collaboration. . . . Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
Sex Segregation in Sports: Why Separate Is Not Equal recognizes an issue in society that may not be apparent, but surely needs to be addressed. . . . This book is effective in its ability to show how segregation was approached earlier in history and the overall significance of sports in individual and societal development. . . . This book does more than highlight the importance of that area of research. It also offers a detailed plan of implementation and addresses, with confidence, how to apply and evaluate the progress. Overall, it makes a compelling case for the conclusion that the integration of sports would not only benefit men and women but also adolescents as children learn traditional sex constructs that are reinforced through adolescence and adulthood through sports.
