This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open
Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.
Boxing is a traditional sport in many ways, characterized by
continuities in the form of practices and regulations and heavy
with legends and heroes reflecting its traditional/historical
values. Associations with class, hegemonic masculinity and
racialized inclusions/exclusions, however, sit alongside
developments such as women's boxing and involvement in Mixed
Martial Arts. This book will be the first to use boxing as a
vehicle for exploring social, cultural and political change in a
global context. It will consider to what degree and in what ways
boxing reflects social transformations, and whether and how it
contributes to those transformations. In exploring the relationship
it will provide new ways of thinking critically about the everyday.
