Few activities bring together physicality, emotions, politics,
money, and morality as dramatically as sport. In Brazil's stadiums
or parks in China, on Cuba's baseball diamonds or rugby fields in
Fiji, human beings test their physical limits, invest emotional
energy, bet money, perform witchcraft, and ingest substances,
making sport a microcosm of what life is about. The Anthropology of
Sport explores not only what anthropological thinking tells us
about sports, but also what sports tell us about the ways in which
the sporting body is shaped by and shapes the social, cultural,
political, and historical contexts in which we live. Core themes
discussed in this book include the body, modernity, nationalism,
the state, citizenship, transnationalism, globalization, and gender
and sexuality.
