The Sport and Society Reader - Hardback

Is there such a thing as "pure sport"? This book examines the links between sport and a range of broader social issues such as race, sexuality, and globalization. David 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.
