SPORT, PROTEST AND GLOBALISATION Stopping Play
Edited by Jon Dart and Stephen Wagg
Global Culture and Sport Series
Series Editors: Stephen Wagg, Leeds Beckett University, UK, and David Andrews, University of Maryland, USA The Global Culture and Sport series aims to contribute to and advance the debate about sport and globalization through engaging with various aspects of sport culture as a vehicle for critically excavating the tensions between the global and the local, transformation and tradition and sameness and difference. With studies ranging from snowboarding bodies, the globalization of rugby and the Olympics, to sport and migration, issues of racism and gender, and sport in the Arab world, this series showcases the range of exciting, pioneering research being developed in the field of sport sociology.
