A key feature of the book is its detailed examination of the lives, experiences and responses of young people involved in sport for development activities, drawn from their own accounts.

Through a locally-centred and contextualized analysis it presents a counterpoint to prevailing approaches to sport for development research that seeks either to evaluate and measure impact, or present internationally-orientated analyses. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffering wide-ranging historical, political, economic and social contextualization, the study examines how a key period in the expansion of the sport for development sector unfolded in Zambia. It considers the significance of varying degrees of integration and partnership practices between sport and development agencies at different levels, and outlines approaches to the provision of sport for development activities in various communities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy drawing on nearly a decade of multidisciplinary research undertaken with young people and adults living and working in urban communities in Zambia, the book provides a detailed examination of the lives, experiences and responses of young people involved in these activities drawn from their own accounts.
