Kathrine van den Bogert brilliantly explores the relationship between space, embodied practices and belonging in this cutting-edge study of Moroccan-Dutch Muslim girls playing street football. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this book empathetically shows how these girls navigate spaces for public sports that are gendered, racialized and based on secular norms, and how they ‘kick back’ to racism and sexism through their playful, performative acts.
