{"product_id":"the-anthropology-of-sport-niko-besnier-9780520289000","title":"The Anthropology of Sport: Bodies, Borders, Biopolitics","description":"Few activities bring together physicality, emotions, politics, money, and morality as dramatically as sport. In Brazil's stadiums or China's parks, on Cuba's baseball diamonds or Fiji's rugby fields, human beings test their physical limits, invest emotional energy, bet money, perform witchcraft, and ingest substances. Sport is a microcosm of what life is about. \u003ci\u003eThe Anthropology of Sport\u003c\/i\u003e explores how sport both shapes and is shaped by the social, cultural, political, and historical contexts in which we live. Core themes discussed in this book include the body, modernity, nationalism, the state, citizenship, transnationalism, globalization, and gender and sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niko Besnier, Susan Brownell, Thomas F.
