In this collection, sixteen scholars explore topics as diverse as
the historical debate over black athletic superiority, the selling
of sport in society, the eroticism of athletic activity, sexual
fears of women athletes, and the marketing of the marathon. In line
with the changing nature of sport history as a field of study, the
essays focus less on traditional topics and more on themes of
class, gender, race, ethnicity, and national identity, which also
define the larger parameters of social and cultural history. It is
the first anthology to situation sport history within the broader
fields of social history and cultural studies. Contributors are
Melvin L. Adelman, William J. Baker, Pamela L. Cooper, Mark
Dyreson, Gerald R. Gems, Elliott J. Gorn, Allen Guttmann, Stephen
H. Hardy, Peter Levine, Donald J. Mrozek, Michael Oriard, S. W.
Pope, Benjamin G. Rader, Steven A. Riess, Nancy L. Struna, and
David K. Wiggins.
