Games and Sporting Events in History offers a broad global
perspective on sports and games in Europe, North America, Africa,
and Asia. A diverse set of topics covers education, medicine,
therapy, body culture, gender, race, cross cultural flow, and
political issues from the late nineteenth century throughout the
twentieth century, offering new insights into previously little
researched areas of scholarship relating to physical activity and
sport. Such works take a new look at old issues with continued
relevance to current works. The use of sports as a political tool
are prominent in studies persistent to national and international
relations; while other investigations cover the sociocultural
discourse of the past relative to bodies and physical performances
that continue to resonate in modern times. This book was previously
published as a special issue of the International Journal of the
History of Sport.
Global Perspectives of Sport and Physical Culture is a compilation
of diverse essays derived from the works of prominent international
scholars that address significant international issues relative to
sporting practices from a historical perspective. A variety of
movement cultures are examined and analysed, such as various
aspects of the turner and gymnastic movements, the transnational
development of dance, competitive sport, non-competitive
performance, and mountaineering. Michael Krugers introductory
chapter sets a framework for analysis with a historiographical and
philosophical treatment of modern sport as an example of
nationalism, internationalism and cultural imperialism. The
succeeding chapters discuss the confrontation of commercialization
with national interests, the importance of gender in the
construction of various movement cultures, as well as the
conditions and circumstances that effect societal and cultural
change. This book was previously published as a special issue of
the International Journal of the History of Sport.

San Francisco Bay Area Sports brings together fifteen essays
covering the issues, controversies, and personalities that have
emerged as northern Californians recreated and competed over the
last 150 years. The area's diversity, anti-establishment leanings,
and unique and beautiful natural surroundings are explored in the
context of a dynamic sporting past that includes events broadcast
to millions or activities engaged in by just a few. Professional
and college events are covered along with lesser-known entities
such as Oakland's public parks, tennis player and Bay Area native
Rosie Casals, environmentalism and hiking in Marin County, and the
origins of the Gay Games. Taken as a whole, this book clarifies how
sport is connected to identities based on sexuality, gender, race,
and ethnicity. Just as crucial, the stories here illuminate how
sport and recreation can potentially create transgressive spaces,
particularity in a place known for its nonconformity.
