このコンテンツについて
Growing up, R. Renee Hess didn’t care for hockey. In fact, she was barely aware of it. She was born and raised in Southern California, hardly a hot spot for the game, despite the state having three NHL teams. But, as Hess puts it, she is “a fan of being a fan,” and when she found herself stuck in traffic after a Pittsburgh Penguins game, the streets filled with cheers, something sparked within her. Ever since Hess made that discovery, she has been actively trying to bust the myth that “Black folks don’t like hockey.”
In this collection, Hess shares her hockey origin story and how she came to recognize hockey culture’s lack of authentic engagement with Black communities, tracing her journey to becoming a true game changer. But, as an academic, Hess knows that her singular viewpoint can’t tell the full story, so she reached out to former hockey players, league executives, activists, fans, media, and to the parents and youth shaping the future of the game. We hear directly from players such as Sarah Nurse and Saroya Tinker; from trailblazers like Bernice Carnegie and Kim Davis; and from the collective of Black Girl Hockey Club scholarship awardees and their families, emphasizing the importance of community and support for marginalized players. The result is a hockey book truly unlike any other.
With essays that touch on representation and harmful stereotypes, the many nuanced aspects of biracial identity, being the only person of colour in the room, and the virtues of a lively group chat, Blackness Is a Gift I Can Give Her is a love letter to Black women everywhere, as well as a scathing ode to a game that Hess loves, even if it doesn't always love her back.
批評家のレビュー
One of CBC Books' Works of Nonfiction to Check Out This Fall
"In sharing her own conversations and the lived experience of Black women in hockey, Hess offers a world of insight from marginalized groups while simultaneously protecting them. Blending raw honesty with kindness and humour, Blackness Is a Gift I Can Give Her is a poignant and richly padded book with truths that the hockey world needs to hear. Hess makes you want to fight for justice . . . and watch a hockey game." —Shireen Ahmed, Award-winning Multiplatform Sports Journalist and Instructor at Toronto Metropolitan University
"R. Renee Hess writes enthusiastically and lovingly about a demographic rarely centred or allowed to tell their own story. Passionate, commanding, and unflinching. . . . Hess tackles gender, race, sexism, feminism, intersectionality, misogynoir, and more, masterfully. This book is a powerful ode to Black women in sport, and proves we are an invaluable force never to be underestimated or diminished." —Perdita Felicien, author of My Mother's Daughter
"The finest thing one can say about a hockey player is that they have changed the game. But you don't always need to step on the ice to ignite change, and this book shows that. Our sport, and more importantly, our society, will love this assist from R. Renee Hess." —Ron MacLean, Hockey Night in Canada
"Ms. Renee grasps the soul of every Black woman, sharing our stories in ways that we've always wanted them to be. This book is for those who've never felt that they had a place in the game, and also for those who want to show that everyone belongs. Thank you, Renee, for a safe space, a liberated feeling, and a protective embrace." —Sarah Nurse, Canadian Women's National Hockey Team, Olympic Champion, and World Champion
