Brasian Family Practices and Reflexivity - Behind the Boxing Ropes

Contesting stereotypical and deterministic accounts of British South Asian Muslims (BrAsian), which have largely contributed towards the perpetuation of Islamophobia, this book analyses how the influence of parents, extended family, and community help and constrain the lives of a younger generation of amateur and professional boxers.
