Sport is an essential part of community structure, membership and
identity. Whether on the field of play, in stadia, or on the
streets, sport has consistently brought together disparate
individuals to share culture, values and memories. Nowadays these
relationships are being rewritten through the effects of global
socio-economic practices, the interventions of government, the
impact of cultural imperialism and, at the local level, through the
actions of individuals and new constituencies that are emerging in
response. Furthermore, this generates discourse on matters of
regional and national identity. This themed issue presents a range
of essays that examine the relationship between sport and society
through the conceptual lenses of community, mobility and identity.
Drawing upon insights from contemporary history and current
political phenomena from leading academic specialists in the field,
the issue addresses cross-cutting themes such as loyalty and
allegiance, migration and integration, identity and collective
memory, and the politics of resistance and change, which will be of
interest to the political scientist, the contemporary historian and
sport scholar alike. This book was previously published as a
special edition of the journal Sport in Society.
