Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Sociologists use a cultural studies approach as the basis for 11 critical essays challenging the prevailing assumptions about the role of professional and Olympic sports in modern society, especially how class and gender cultures affect sport and how sport affects subcultures. In addition to modern urban America, they examine ancient Greece, Victorian England and Wales, and Latin America. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
