{"product_id":"whose-game-rebecca-joyce-kissane-9781439918869","title":"Whose Game?: Gender and Power in Fantasy Sports","description":"\u003cp\u003eFantasy sports have the opportunity to provide a sporting community in which gendered physical presence plays no role--a space where men and women can compete and interact on a level playing field. \u003ci\u003eWhose Game?\u003c\/i\u003e shows, however, that while many turn to this space to socialize with friends or participate in a uniquely active and competitive fandom, men who play also depend on fantasy sports to perform a boyhood vision of masculinity otherwise inaccessible to them. Authors Rebecca Kissane and Sarah Winslow draw on a rich array of survey, interview, and observational data to examine how gender, race, and class frame the experiences of everyday fantasy sports players.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pioneering book examines gendered structures and processes, such as \u003ci\u003ejock statsculinity\u003c\/i\u003e--a nerdish form of masculine one-upmanship--and how women are often rendered as outsiders. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eWhose Game? \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates that fantasy sports are more than just an inconsequential leisure activity. This online world bleeds into participants' social lives in gendered ways--forging and strengthening relationships but also taking participants' time and attention to generate negative emotions, stress, discord, and unproductivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Joyce Kissane,Sarah Winslow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439918864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439918869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2021","brand":"Rebecca Joyce Kissane","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065588396287,"sku":"9781439918869","price":94.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34219800-1812-41d1-8bd0-c09b48bc918c.jpg?v=1768675967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whose-game-rebecca-joyce-kissane-9781439918869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
