Serving as a foundation for critical discussion about the
importance of the past, Sport and Recreation in Canadian History
covers the historical events, people, and moments that shape
Canadian sport in the present and future. While this text focuses
on sport and recreation practices on these lands now claimed by
Canada, it is set within a larger historical context of
interconnecting social and cultural practices to speak to the
sustained tensions, complexities, and contradictions prevalent in
Canadian society. The editor, Dr. Carly Adams, and her 17
contributing experts from across Canada bring the latest research
in all areas of Canadian sport history to life and present a
thorough look at the nation's past events. The text challenges the
dominant narratives and encourages students to think critically
about Canadian sport history. It examines how gender, ethnicity,
race, religion, ability, class, and other systems of oppression and
privilege have shaped sport and recreation practices, with Canadian
sporting culture reproducing many of the same oppressive systems
that exist on the larger scale. Sport and Recreation in Canadian
History separates itself from its competitors by providing an
abundance of pedagogical aids. Sidebars highlighting prominent
people provide glimpses of figures who made a significant impact on
Canadian sport history. Transformative Moment sidebars focus on
significant events as they relate to specific themes, such as
gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, or ability. A comprehensive
timeline showcases where important events fell in relation to one
another, while the text acknowledges the problem of presenting
history in a linear way and provides a more nuanced discussion of
time. Descriptions of primary source documents-such as newspaper
articles, photographs, and historical documents-are accompanied by
explanations of how sport historians work with these documents.
Sport and Recreation in Canadian History asks readers to think
differently about the history of Canadian sport, and it examines
how past people, moments, and events continue to shape 21st-century
sport.
