This book reimagines the pleasures of sports and provides a
critical perspective from the Global South. Analysing the spread of
sports markets in Sri Lanka along with a range of struggles, the
book highlights how the celebration of 'sportive nationalism,'
promoting sports markets in the Global South reinforces patriarchal
ethno-nationalist authoritarian sports cultures. By explaining how
the realm of social reproduction involving households and
communities is integral for play and sports, the book challenges
the market-driven 'sports and development' agenda while arguing for
a 'sports commons.' By foregrounding issues of justice and care,
the book highlights how struggles for recognition, redistribution
and representation are central to reimagining sports within an
alternative notion of work, play and resistance.
