Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I went to work in the mornings at the construction site carrying heavy irons and bricks, that was hard work. But it was so much fun in the afternoons, we played ‘خردمپایی’, one would throw an old flipflop trying to hit others, we had to be very fast to not get hit! We played for hours. Later when we got older, we, the Afghan kids, turned an old gravel canal into a football field. Those were good times.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the following chapter I aim to engage with sports and creative writing, namely poetry, from a decolonial standpoint. This chapter is the result of my doctoral research, in which I collaborated with ten Afghan youth living in Sweden, within a participatory art-based research paradigm, in order to explore and reveal their engagement with sports. The intention here is to delink sport from Eurocentric thought and the competitive sports cultures of the West (Carrington in Handbook of the Sociology of Sport. Routledge, 105–115, 2015); and instead work to recover otherwise forms of engagement with sports that work to bring about re-existence (Walsh in International Journal of Lifelong Education 34(1):9–21) of lives and ways of knowing that have been historically negated by such Eurocentrism. I have supplemented the chapter with poetry and prose (some written by me) not only to contextualise the themes and illuminate certain personal experiences that have influenced my scholarship, but also to provide the readers with a cartography of the epistemic stand I depart from.
