Games and Sporting Events in History offers a broad global
perspective on sports and games in Europe, North America, Africa,
and Asia. A diverse set of topics covers education, medicine,
therapy, body culture, gender, race, cross cultural flow, and
political issues from the late nineteenth century throughout the
twentieth century, offering new insights into previously little
researched areas of scholarship relating to physical activity and
sport. Such works take a new look at old issues with continued
relevance to current works. The use of sports as a political tool
are prominent in studies persistent to national and international
relations; while other investigations cover the sociocultural
discourse of the past relative to bodies and physical performances
that continue to resonate in modern times. This book was previously
published as a special issue of the International Journal of the
History of Sport.
