A special issue of the International Journal of the History of
Sport, this collection of provocative essays explores the many
faces of sport in America. Drawing upon insights from anthropology,
history, philosophy and sociology and with reference throughout to
politics and economics, the contributors outline the story of how
American sport has contributed to a climate of insularity,
exceptionalism and imperialism, from a symbolic rejection of
British rule and British sports to the current status of
all-American sports such as baseball and basketball in the face of
globalization.
