Caribbean Hoops by Jay R. Mandle,Joan D. Mandle Pdf

"The success of Caribbean basketball, the region's fastest growing sport, has been accompanied by prestige, opportunity, and frustration. The players' vision of their sport is the subject of this major study. Caribbean Hoops analyzes the sport's development, its strengths in voluntarism and commercialism as modes of organization, its special problems for referees, its political significance, and its methods of governance. Written in an informal style, the book is rigorous in its application of theory and convincing in its conclusions about the sport's problems and prospects. Engaging and topical, Caribbean Hoops presents a unique viewpoint on a growing, influential athletic and cultural phenomenon."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Sport in Latin America and the Caribbean by Joseph Arbena,David Gerald LaFrance Pdf

Sport in Latin America and the Caribbean is the most comprehensive overview to date of the development of modern sports in Latin America. This new book illustrates how and why sport has become a central part of the political, economic, and social life of the region and the repercussions of its role. This highly readable volume is composed of articles on a wide variety of sports-basketball, baseball, volleyball, cricket, soccer, and equestrian events-in countries and regions throughout Latin America. Broad in scope, this volume explores the definition of modern sport; whether sport is enslaving, liberating, or neutral; if sport reflects or challenges dominant culture; the attributes and drawbacks of professional versus amateur sport; and the difference between sport in capitalist and socialist nations.

Civil Sociality by Sally Anderson Pdf

Sally Anderson's book on sport, cultural policy, and “civil sociality” in Denmark has been a long time in coming, but it's well worth the wait. Based on many years of familiarity with Danish society, and countless hours of intensive fieldwork, Dr. Anderson provides us with a unique anthropological perspective on the process by which state cultural policy actively engages civil society in a quest to shape social relations in the public sphere. The particular domain of policy and social activity is nonschool, voluntary sport, in its various forms. By definition, of course, such activity takes place outside the regular Danish school curriculum, but it is not for this reason any less "educational." Indeed, although it is very broadly attended and institutionalized, perhaps because Danish after-school sport is not compulsory, it is all the more compelling for children and youth, and therefore more powerful in certain ways. Indeed, Dr. Anderson has a signal talent for showing us how afterschool sport in Denmark both transmits and produces social knowledge, and powerfully shapes social relations.
