And so it is both a platform, I think, for overcoming stereotypes.
But these are legacies that exist in society and get transmitted also in sport.
So first, I'll just comment on the neighborhood that I was lucky enough to work in and I lived just outside of over the course of my research.
When I first entered St.
Jamestown, it was actually with the intent of doing research on youth crime.
It is one of Toronto's priority neighborhoods.
It is also, people say,
North America's most densely populated.
It's certainly, from what I've read, Canada's most densely populated neighborhood.
It is a visual representation of the phrase concrete jungle.
I entered this neighborhood at first interested in youth crime, and I volunteered in soccer programs as a means to get to know young people.
I was connected through my old soccer coach, Xavier Lucky Booth, who's a prominent member of Toronto's soccer community and Jamaican community.
And he had the idea, why don't you volunteer in the program and you'll meet young people that way.
And through volunteering in the program, I was, I guess not...
but I noted the very positive integration experiences that the young people were undergoing.
They had positive views about Canada.
They were doing well in school.
They were integrated locally, despite their relative marginalization.
And this countered a lot of the research done on racialized second-generation immigrants in North America, especially in America and even in Europe.
And I became that interested in what the role of sport in itself was.
