B. Asante About the ContributorsReviewsThe growth of ESports is accelerating much faster than academia can respond. Higher education institutions have belatedly responded by offering Esports courses and a few programs (e.g., certificates, minors, concentrations, etc.), although support for Esports scholarship has grown slowly. However, Diversity and Inclusion in the Esports Industry, edited by Ryan Rogers and Mary Lou Sheffer, should aid in the development of Esports scholarship and understanding by many of various areas of interest in the general industry. Chapters on the history and culture of Esports provide background info before specific foci on issues related to race, gender, and identities in Esports. Multiple elite researchers authored chapters, but the writing is straight-forward and easy to comprehend throughout. In sum, this text is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about Esports beyond just the games. The growth of ESports is accelerating much faster than academia can respond.
