This book highlights inconsistencies within the field of sports
scholarship and provides an opportunity to open up and extend
conversations about the intersection of sports media and race -
particularly surrounding athletes of East Asian descent. Despite
the growing influence of East Asian and Asian American/Canadian
athletes, they are still underrepresented in Western media and in
scholarship. This anthology adds much-needed literature to sports,
popular culture, East Asian, and Asian American studies. The
prominence of sports in global popular culture makes the
intersections explored in this collection a crucial addition to
existing conversations about both sports and East Asian/Asian
American/Canadian studies.
This edited collection examines how fantasy sports play has
established a prominent and promising foothold in the larger sports
ecology. Often considered an isolated activity for the hardcore
sports fan, fantasy sports play have since been incorporated into
sports broadcasting and editorial coverage, sports marketing and
promotions, and even into the very sports themselves with athletes
and teams using the activities to draw fans further into the sports
experience. This edited collection invites leading scholars and
sports professionals from several different fields to share
historical and emerging perspectives on the importance of fantasy
sports as an artifact of theoretical and empirical importance to
larger issues of sport and society. \
