4.9/5 (9191 ratings)

Description:Sports and nationalism are two forms of imagining and actively constructing the connections that justify and explain belonging to a community. However, as practices involving diverse actors in historically and culturally specific contexts, they are also often occasions for the questioning of hegemonic national narratives and even for the emergence of alternative imaginings of supra or sub-national belonging. This collection interrogates sports in Latin America precisely as a key terrain in which nation is defined and populations are interpellated through emotionally charged practices of inclusion and exclusion. The book explores the complexities of these practices across a range of sports (soccer, baseball, cycling, basketball, tennis, boxing, and more) and national spaces (Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, USA, among others). Finally, it looks at how factors such as gender, (dis)ability, migration, and globalization complicate notions of nation engendered through sports.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
