Sports in Africa reflect a complex, colonial history in which
recent democratic changes have set out to redistribute wealth,
reclaim notions of an African heritage and celebrate diversity.
With a growing need to discuss and analyse issues, images and
controversies with relevance to both the African and South African
contexts, a detailed introduction to the sociology of sport is
provided within this, the southern African edition of Sports in
society: issues and controversies. This adaptation of the American
and international editions provides a meaningful framework and
depth of sociological issues, theories, concepts and sporting
practices in Africa, and then also particularly South Africa.
Inevitably, there are many similarities within this framework to
the original text, and it therefore still forms the basis of
exploring the dynamic relationship between sports, culture and
society. Contents include the following: Diverse sport histories
and political dispensations; Knowledge and theories about sports in
society; Gender and ideological change; Race and race relations;
Economic realities and inequalities; Global trends and
affiliations; Media and sports relations; Sports for the future;
Sports and development. Sports in society is the definitive text
for learning the sociology of sport in context, with extensive
revisions so that students in Africa will find the content relevant
and understandable in terms of their experiences.
