1968 was a year of protest in civil society (Prague, Paris, Chicago) and a year of protest in sport. After a worldwide campaign, the antiapartheid movement succeeded in barring South Africa from the Olympic Games, while US athletes from the Olympic Project for Human Rights used the medals podium to decry the racism of North America. Meanwhile, students in Mexico demonstrated against social priorities in Mexico, the host of the 1968 Games. These events contributed significantly to the rejection of the idea that sports are apolitical, and stimulated the scholarly study of sport across the social sciences.Leading up to the Beijing Olympic Games, similar dynamics were played out across the globe, while a campaign was underway to boycott the Genocide Olympics. The volume, To Remember is to Resist, came out of a threeday conference on sports, human rights and social change hosted by the University of Toronto forty years after Mexico and eighty days before the Beijing Opening Ceremony.The contributions to this volume capture the memories of activists who were "on the ground" using sport as a site for the struggle for human rights and provide scholarly examinations of past and current human rights movements in sport.This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
