This book explores how American sports, especially basketball,
baseball and American football, have projected the US into the
world, and brought the world into America. Taking a chronological
approach it traces the development of American sports from the turn
of the 20th century, highlighting how international forces such as
immigration, geopolitics and war have influenced the trajectory of
sport in the US, and thus the American experience. DuBois also
considers the globalization of American sport and how this soft
power shaped international relations throughout the American
century. Addressing key questions about the role of sport in the
rise of the United States, it frames themes that have come to
define sports history; gender, race, economics and politics. It
argues that while sport has not necessarily been a catalyst for
change, it has often mirrored social issues, and sometimes served
as an important tool of progress. Synthesizing major works
alongside primary sources, the chapters study boxing, hockey, track
and field and soccer alongside the 'big three' (basketball,
baseball and American football) through a number of case studies to
offer a novel interpretation of American sport history. Spanning
early Native American sport, the export of baseball in the American
empire, the role of basketball in the Cold War, the influence of
immigrants and women in sports, and modern day sport culture,
American Sport in International History asks what the role of sport
has been and will be in a shifting international environment.
