This slim volume is in the Routledge tradition of highly current but also academically reputable overviews of important media studies and political issues. Overall it lives up to expectations as a useful guide to theory. Recent racial issues in European sport, particularly football, have highlighted the need to think more deeply about the problem and overcome the widely-held notion that racism is somehow now behind us.
