E-grāmata: Changing on the Fly: Hockey through the Voices of South Asian Canadians

"Changing on the Fly interrogates the culture of hockey honestly, and from a place of love, offering a critique that is meant to change the nature of the sport so that everyone not just white, straight Canadian men and boys can truly have a place in it." The Tyee "The groundbreaking work of Courtney Szto in Changing on the Fly captures the multiple ways that the Canadian national pastime of ice hockey constitutes an important site to examine the essential izing and shifting realms of race and belonging....[ A] call to action and a demand to think about race critically in relation to sport and the nation. Changing on the Fly destabilizes the normative investments in sport and the nation while articulating forms of citizenship that can be liberating. With the increasing discussion and silence around race in professional sports, this book is vital to understanding the expansive infrastructure that secures whiteness and excludes communities of color."   Sociology of Sport Journal "Changing on the Fly will force a rethinking of race, hockey, and the politics of citizenship in the social margins. In this pioneering text, Szto's rich intertextuality highlights the competing and contradictory nature of race and representation in sport. There is nothing else like it." Stanley Thangaraj, author of Desi Hoop Dreams "Interview: Dr. Courtney Szto, author of "Changing on the Fly: Hockey Through the Voices of South Asian Canadians"

Nathan Kalman-Lamb, author of Game Misconduct: Injury, Fandom, and the Business of Sport "A groundbreaking book. Courtney Szto's insightful study of hockey's growing significance in Canadian South Asian communities, as well as challenges faced by racialized Canadians when they play the game, makes an important contribution to the analysis of contemporary Canadian society." Richard Gruneau, Simon Fraser University "Changing on the Fly offers an original, powerful analysis of the hockey rink and the racial, national, gendered, and political landscape. Szto's ability to build on existing scholarship all while carving out new areas of analysis and her centering of South Asian Canadians' voices will change the ways we talk about sport, about hockey and about the (South) Asian Diaspora. Stzo is a force who will shape discussions in sports studies for decades to come. The future of sports studies is in good hands with Stzo leading the way."
