This is a fundamental text for the study of sport history. It
answers the 'why,' 'how,' and 'what' questions, introducing the key
principles and practices of sport history and walking the reader
through the fascinating stories, debates, issues, and national and
international narratives that constitute the history of sport. The
book provides an overview of the field and the various professional
roles assumed by practitioners, such as researchers, academics, and
public historians. It is brief, crisp, and to the point. The main
general topics of interest within the field - gender, race,
nationalism, religion, sport and leisure, and megaevents - are
covered with introductory vignettes, stories of interest, a wide
variety of theoretical frameworks, and relevant historiography in
the most current and timely text of its kind. Each chapter provides
a list of further readings for more in-depth study. Students are
taught how to conduct research and present their findings in a
variety of mediums, and teaching and publication tips are offered
for educators. Sport History: The Basics is essential reading for
any student on a sport-related degree course or with an interest in
social and cultural history. It is also fascinating reading for
anybody with a general interest in sport.
