This book review discusses "Fighting Identity: An Ethnography of Kickboxing in East London" by Amit Singh. The review highlights how the book explores the formation of solidarities between Polish and Black fighters in East London, going beyond the divisive narratives of Brexit and emphasizing their shared identity as fighters. Singh's research combines Bourdieu's habitus and Butler's performativity theory to analyze how subjectivity and identity are negotiated in a post-Brexit Britain. The review praises Singh's careful and compassionate approach to his research participants and recommends the book for undergraduate and graduate students studying race and racism.
