      ‘Personal, political, powerful and about so much more than race and sport.’

      BERNARDINE EVARISTO, author of the Booker Prize-winning novel Girl, Woman, Other

      ‘This searching exploration uses sport to examine questions of race and identity … Bardowell does an excellent and passionate job of refracting the issues within sport – the dearth of black football managers, the lack of activism from black athletes who have made it into the spotlight – into wider society.’

       Financial Times

      ‘A painful reflection of racism in British sport … Bardowell ably demonstrates the power of the media to determine the narratives around these sporting lives. He flags up the false binaries often promoted between good (patriotic) and bad (self-centred) black sportswomen and men … it’s a valuable act of remembrance of sporting stars who put their careers on the line in pursuit of a moral right.’

       Observer

      ‘No Win Race has the feel of James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time … No Win Race will stimulate much discussion across generations of readers – both black and white. I would love to see it on secondary school and university curriculums, and with the breadth of what it covers, it should feature on the reading list of many creative disciplines.’

       Words of Colour

      ‘And before you think it’s some kind of sociological tome, that is best left for A-Level students studying Race and Sport – it’s a really good read. There’s lots of very personal recollections about sport, and the beauty of sport, and the power of sport to inspire and bring families together, and plenty of you will reminisce about watching sport growing up with your own parents and watching great sporting moments. You won’t be reading this book and feel like you’re being lectured at, trust me on that one, it’s an enjoyable read.’

      NIHAL ARTHANAYAKE, BBC Radio 5 Live

      ‘A must-read for anyone interested in the cultural politics of sport, the question of English and British nationalism, and what sport can (and can’t) do to produce a more convivial society.’

      BEN CARRINGTON, Associate Professor of

      Sociology and Journalism in the USC
