Description

Although everyone loves to watch a fair, evenly matched sports contest, there is no such thing as 'pure sport'. "The Sport and Society Reader" is a collection of key scholarly and journalistic articles that demonstrate the ways that the sports we love to watch and the teams we love to root for are embedded in important social structures and processes that undermine sports' 'purity'. The volume presents articles on: sports with - more or less - class race matters in sports gender myths and privileges in sports; sports and deviance sexuality; and, sport globalizing sport. The articles selected are both entertaining and highly illustrative of the links between sport and other areas of social study, resulting in a book that is as compelling as it is useful. In addition, the introductory approach used throughout orients the reader to specific key issues, making "The Sport and Society Reader" an ideal standalone text for students of all levels. Davide Karen and Robert E. Washington's fascinating collection of scholarly and journalistic articles challenges the prevailing perception of sports, and will stimulate discussion in the classroom and beyond.This is essential reading for all students of sports studies, the sociology of sport, and the sociology of culture.

Sweden's friendliest and environmental friendliest bookshop with the lowest priced textbooks.

This is our ambition, and we do what it takes to get there. We are here to help students to save and earn money on their textbooks while we at the same time save the environment. We were started in 2005 by two students and have since strived to constantly make it easier to buy and sell used textbooks for as many as possible.
