In a revised, updated, and considerably expanded new edition of
Sport, Theory and Social Problems, authors Eric Anderson and Adam
White examine how the structure and culture of sport promotes
inequality, injury, and complicity to authority at the non-elite
levels of play in Anglo-American countries. By introducing students
to a research-led perspective on sport, it highlights the operation
of power, patriarchy, and pain that a hyper-competitive sporting
culture promotes. Each chapter includes at least one key social
theory, which is made accessible and pragmatic. The theory is then
infused throughout the chapter to help the student engage with a
deeper understanding of sport. In addition to examining how sport
generates otherness, distracts children from education, and teaches
the acceptance of emotional and physical violence, this new edition
also examines how organized, competitive sport divides us by race,
denies children the right to their own governance, and promotes
brain trauma and chronic traumatic encephalopathy in those who are
too young to consent to play contact sports. Sport, Theory and
Social Problems: A Critical Introduction is an essential textbook
for any sport studies degree with a focus on the sociology of
sport, sport and social theory, children's health and wellbeing, or
sport and gender studies.
