This study uses sociological and historical methodologies to
analyze the role of sport in the formation of urban identity in
Chicago. The author traces the transformation of Chicago from a
frontier town to a commercial behemoth, examining its role as an
immigration, transportation, and entertainment hub. The author
argues that, as a pioneering leader in American sport history,
Chicago allowed teams and athletes to forge a unique national and
global identity. This thorough and well-researched study makes a
major contribution to debates on the social and psychological
functions of sport culture.
