Identity is one of the most theorised and contested of all
sociological concepts and sport is fertile ground for an
examination of its complexities. This book offers a wide-ranging
and up-to-date exploration of the sport-identity nexus, drawing
examples from a variety of sporting contexts and geographical
locations, and incorporating a diversity of perspectives including
players, spectators, officials, the media and policy-makers.
Covering key themes in the social scientific study of sport such as
gender, ethnicity and national identity, it considers the impact of
social, cultural and technological change on the formation of
sporting identities. Including original real-life case studies,
each chapter makes a unique contribution to our understanding of
the complex relationship between sport and identity. As this
relationship is embedded within the broader structures of power
that frame social inequality, this book also poses important
questions about the role of sport-related initiatives in our
society today, as well as in years to come. Sport and Contested
Identities: Contemporary Issues and Debates is fascinating reading
for all students and scholars of the sociology of sport.
