Much of the research on race and ethnicity within the sports studies field has been fixated on the black and white racial binary.  In this session, partially entitled ¿Y Nosotros Que? (What about us?), the spotlight is shifted to draw attention to the experiences, challenges and issues of the Latinx diaspora represented in both American and International sporting cultures.  Music and Sport are but two cultural phenomenons within Latin American culture which historically have been used to challenge the political, economic, and social landscapes facing Latinx communities.
