Sport and film have historically been key components of national cultures and societies. This is the first collection dedicated to examining the intersection of these popular cultural forces within specific national contexts.

Recenzje

"This book achieves what it sets out to do-help the reader consider and understand
how sport can be used in film to configure and inform a variety of national cultures. In doing
so, the book contributes to sociology, anthropology, media, and cultural studies and should
be of interest to sports historians as well as scholars beyond the sport history field." --
Andrew Bailey, Northumbria Univerty

"This is a good collection which succeeds in being appropriately scholarly, utterly readable, and attractively wide ranging." - Garry Whannel, University of Bedfordshire
