ABSTRACT
Introduction Studies of the relationship between leisure and racism have not dominated the elds of Leisure Studies, Race Relations, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Sociology or other bodies of knowledge but they have made a contribution to what we know about racism, how it pervades many cultures, takes many dierent forms and must remain a focus of any social or progressive twenty-rst-century political agenda. It is not necessary here to argue whether the challenge of racism has been one of the political successes or failures of Leisure Studies and other elds, but it is necessary for both studies of racism and forms of advocacy that challenge racism to be much more prominent in the international eld of Leisure Studies.
