Description
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.
