Sport Across Asia : Politics, Cultures, and Identities Paperback / softback
Edited by Katrin (Centre for Modern Oriental Studies, Germany) Bromber, Birgit Krawietz, Joseph Maguire
Part of the Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book is designed to reflect both our current knowledge regarding sport, globalisation and ‘"encounters" with several important "post-colonial" or non-western societies and to draw together scholars from a range of different disciplines.
Case studies of cultural encounters in Central, South-East Asia, Asia Minor and the Arabian peninsula capture the paradoxical processes of emulation, resistance and transformation that are at work in the diffusion and development of "sport" and body cultures.
These case studies bring together insights from anthropology, cultural studies, geography, history, law, sociology, various area and post-colonial studies.
