This collection provides interdisciplinary study of sport in the
Middle East in the context of history, politics, policies, gender,
religion, ideology and international relations. The chapters
examine the role of the Pan-Arab Games in strengthening the bonds
of Arab identity in Qatar, the contribution of sport to the
building of nationhood and cultural image in Lebanon and Turkey,
female involvement in the Olympic movement in Middle Eastern
countries, how sport has facilitated the promotion of gender
equality and how sport has served the social and cultural
transformation of the Islamic world. Study of the role and
functions of sport in the Middle East in its historical, political
and cultural context is long overdue. Based on recent research
conducted by prominent young scholars in this field, this
collection will inspire and stimulate the future development of
research in the Islamic world. This book was originally published
as a special issue of The International Journal of the History of
Sport.
