Lakota basketball and racism: Performance, performativity, and engaged acrimony.
Summary: Sporting contests between communities actively engaged in societal struggle comprise an event I call "engaged acrimony."

In doing so, I offer an understanding of how Native communities can fashion an empowering response to racism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Anthropology & Humanism is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
