Sport is a geographic phenomenon. The physical and organizational
infrastructure of sport occupies a prominent place in our society.
This important book takes an explicitly spatial approach to sport,
bringing together research in geography, sport studies and related
disciplines to articulate a critical approach to 'sports
geography'. Critical Geographies of Sport illustrates this approach
by engaging directly with a variety of theoretical traditions as
well as the latest research methods. Each chapter showcases the
merits of a geographic approach to the study of sport - ranging
from football to running, horseracing and professional wrestling.
Including cases from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the
Americas, the book highlights the ways that space and power are
produced through sport and its concomitant infrastructures,
agencies and networks. Holding these power relations at the center
of its analysis, it considers sport as a unique lens onto our
understanding of space. Truly global in its perspective, it is
fascinating reading for any student or scholar with an interest in
sport and politics, sport and society, or human geography.
