In this first general book on the anthropology of sport, the contributors look at how different sports are used by a wide variety of peoples to express, manipulate and negotiate their identities, and to challenge the way they are defined by others.Chapters address: -the role played by football teams in colonial Zimbabwe to express locals' autonomy from their British rulers; -the evolution of one of Venice's central festive occasions -- its regatta -- from a ritual of state to a sport of the people; modern and postmodern transformations of polo in Pakistan, its original home-the resolution of problematic aspects of social life in Turkey through wrestling; -the manner by which Catalan nationalists successfully exploited the Barcelona Olympics for their own political ends; and-the controversy between anglers and anti-anglers in Britain. This pioneering volume will be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists, sport historians and all those interested in this popular subject\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Macclancy Jeremy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1859731457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859731451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berg 3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.54w x 0.49d","brand":"Macclancy Jeremy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474254217471,"sku":"9781859731451","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_687301c2-ea87-4f7a-94dd-392c77181cad.jpg?v=1762315672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sport-identity-and-ethnicity-macclancy-jeremy-9781859731451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
