This stimulating anthology provides a scholarly perspective on the
history of sport. New and exciting dimensions of sport history are
introduced by exploring its political, economic, social, and
cultural aspects. Race relations and racism in sport, the
interaction of sports and politics, sexism and the role of women in
sports, and the role that the profit motive plays in sports are
among the topics covered. The impact of American attitudes toward
violence as they apply to sport, and sport's powerful role in
reinforcing class values are also reviewed from a historical
perspective.
