Sport has become more than a simple physical expression or game --
it now pervades all societies at all levels and has become bound up
in nationalism, entertainment, patriotism and culture. Now a global
obsession, sport has infiltrated into all areas of modern life and
despite noble ideals that sport stands above politics, religion,
class, gender and ideology, the reality is often very different.
These essays by leading academics and rising new talent consider
the phenomenon of modern sport and its massive influence over
global society. Together, this collection is also a tribute to the
pioneering and inspirational work of Professor J.A. Mangan on the
political, religious, class and gender-based aspects of modern
sport, from academics greatly influenced by him and his writing.
This book was previously published as a special issue of The
International Journal of the History of Sport.
