Derek A. Bardowell discusses his book, No Win Race, which explores the complexities of being black in Britain, told through the prism of sport.

Minter vs Hagler, West Indies vs England, football vs the far right. Few people watch sport for its politics. Yet what happens on the field of play often reflects the problems in our society.

Derek A. Bardowell is a writer and award-winning charity leader. He has contributed to the BBC, The Weeklings and MTV and directed programmes for the Stephen Lawrence Trust and Laureus Sport for Good. Derek is a trustee of Leap Confronting Conflict.
