Although everyone loves to watch a fair, evenly matched sports
contest, there is no such thing as "pure sport". The Sport and
Society Reader is a collection of key scholarly and journalistic
articles that demonstrate the ways that the sports we love to watch
and the teams we love to root for are embedded in important social
structures and processes that undermine sports' "purity". The
volume presents articles on: sports with - more or less - class
race matters in sports gender myths and privileges in sports sports
and deviance sexuality and sport globalizing sport. The articles
selected are both entertaining and highly illustrative of the links
between sport and other areas of social study, resulting in a book
that is as compelling as it is useful. In addition, the
introductory approach used throughout orients the reader to
specific key issues, making The Sport and Society Reader an ideal
standalone text for students of all levels. Davide Karen and Robert
E. Washington's fascinating collection of scholarly and
journalistic articles challenges the prevailing perception of
sports, and will stimulate discussion in the classroom and beyond.
This is essential reading for all students of sports studies, the
sociology of sport, and the sociology of culture.
