Examining Sport Histories: Power, Paradigms & Reflexivity

This book explores the ways in which post-modernist and post-structural approaches can enrich the study of the sporting past. Throughout the chapters, the internationally respected authors draw from their own vast experiences within the study of sport history to collectively promote post-modernism and post-structuralism as forms of social theory that can guide the future of sport historical research. The book demonstrates how sport studies scholars might be more adventurous in their thinking, research, and writing.
