A Cultural History of Sport in the Modern Age covers the period
1920 to today. Over this time, world-wide participation in sport
has been shaped by economic developments, communication and
transportation innovations, declining racism, diplomacy, political
ideologies, feminization, democratization, as well as increasing
professionalization and commercialization. Sport has now become
both a global cultural force and one of the deepest ways in which
individual nations express their myths, beliefs, values, traditions
and realities. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Sport
presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity
to today, covering all forms and aspects of sport and its
ever-changing social, cultural, political, and economic context and
impact. The themes covered in each volume are the purpose of sport;
sporting time and sporting space; products, training and
technology; rules and order; conflict and accommodation; inclusion,
exclusion and segregation; minds, bodies and identities;
representation. Steven A. Riess is Professor Emeritus at
Northeastern Illinois University, USA. Volume 6 in the Cultural
History of Sport set General Editors: Wray Vamplew, Mark Dyreson,
and John McClelland
