| Description: |
Offers a systematic inquiry into American insularity, exceptionalism and imperialism, from a symbolic rejection of British rule and British sports to the status of sports such as baseball and basketball in the face of globalization. This collection of essays relates common threads of discussion from politics and economics to the sporting arena. |
| Synopsis: |
A special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport, this collection of provocative essays explores the many faces of sport in America. Drawing upon insights from anthropology, history, philosophy and sociology and with reference throughout to politics and economics, the contributors outline the story of how American sport has contributed to a climate of insularity, exceptionalism and imperialism, from a symbolic rejection of British rule and British sports to the current status of all-American sports such as baseball and basketball in the face of globalization. |
