The essays that comprise this book mark new territory in the study
of sport in the Hispanic world, a key site of cultural experience
for the populations of Latin America, the United States and the
Iberian Peninsula. The scope of the volume is the exploration of
the representation and interaction of sport / text / body in a
variety of cultural forms in Latin America, Spain and the chicano
population of the USA. As such, it opens a path for further study
of an area that is experiencing significant growth in the
international academic community. The book consists of 11 chapters
by different authors, and an introduction, totalling c.85,000
words. The essays deal with the key sporting practices of the
Hispanic world, including boxing, baseball, athletics, Olympic
movements and football, approaching them as physical manifestations
in their own right and as cultural representations (via media
images, poetry, narrative fiction, murals) through the research
methodologies of the humanities and social sciences. This book was
previously published as a special issue of the International
Journal of the History of Sport
