New and exciting dimensions of sport history are introduced by exploring its political, economic, social, and cultural aspects. Race relations and racism in sport, the interaction of sports and politics, sexism and the role of women in sports, and the role that the profit motive plays in sports are among the topics covered. The impact of American attitudes toward violence as they apply to sport, and sport's powerful role in reinforcing class values are also reviewed from a historical perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Spivey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313247056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313247057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d","brand":"Donald Spivey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086474621183,"sku":"9780313247057","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31ba69ea-a74f-4d55-aa83-b05f6b5520f9.jpg?v=1769094873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sport-in-america-donald-spivey-9780313247057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
