Description

This engaging, comprehensive textbook for sociology of sport courses takes a critical approach, focusing in particular on issues of power and inequality. By addressing questions such as "Are sports free of racism and sexism?" and "Who pays for, and who benefits from, sports?", students understand sport from a sociological perspective rather than as simply a spectator or participant.
