But if the events of the past few years have taught us anything, it is that America has a hard time talking about issues that create disparity and inequality for Black people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis inequality extends not just into education but also into physical education. Blacks are stereotyped as physically superior and intellectually deficient. They are marginalized in PE just as they are in other aspects of their lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough a series of case studies, \u003ci\u003eCritical Race Studies in Physical Education\u003c\/i\u003e offers deep insights into the issues that Black students face. The text, geared to undergraduate and graduate PETE students and in-service teachers, does the following: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides culturally aware teaching strategies that affirm the worth of Black students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifies the crucial issues that negatively affect Black students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses the litany of intentional and covert racist practices directed toward Black youth, thus broadening the book's value beyond the sharing of teaching strategies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eThe end goal is to elevate the perspectives of Black youths and teachers and to normalize positive experiences for Black students in physical education. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo do so, \u003ci\u003eCritical Race Studies in Physical Education\u003c\/i\u003e provides the following: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEight case studies\u003c\/b\u003e of situations that expose racism, disparities, and other issues affecting Black students' well-being, self-worth, and healthy experiences in PE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCritical race study discourse\u003c\/b\u003e that stimulates discussion of relevant issues and enhances learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReflective activities, resources, lesson considerations, and definitions\u003c\/b\u003e to help students and in-service teachers use what they have learned through the case studies and discussions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEach case study includes discussion and reflection prompts that are meant to lead the way to effective strategies and immediate implementation opportunities.

For this to happen, teachers need to affirm students and make them feel safe, cared for, listened to, and recognized as worthy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCritical Race Studies in Physical Education\u003c\/i\u003e will help teachers of all races adopt the teaching practices that create this supportive, empathetic, and nurturing environment--and, in doing so, validate Black students' self-worth and swing the pendulum back toward a more equitable education in PE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTara B.
