Repairing Play

Aaron Trammell's 'Repairing Play' (as referenced) offers a critique of dominant play theories by centering Black studies and cultural perspectives, arguing for reparative approaches in game and play studies.

The work challenges canonical thinkers and seeks to reframe how play is conceptualized in relation to race, power, and cultural history.

It proposes new frameworks that address systemic exclusions and reorients theoretical foundations toward justice and inclusivity.

Trammell's scholarship contributes to ongoing efforts to diversify and decolonize play and game studies.

The book is positioned as foundational for future work that moves beyond romanticized theories of play.
