Opis

Sport has been a component of African cultural life for several hundred years. In today’s globalised world, Africans and Africa have become a vital part of the international sporting landscape. This is the first book to attempt to survey the full historical, contemporary and geographical breadth of that landscape.

Recenzje

“Opening with the claim that “Africans and people of African descent have had more of an impact on sport than perhaps on any other sphere if global culture in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries”, John Nauright and Mahfoud Amara’s collection of sporting essays marks a welcome new direction in the study of African Sport.” Conor Heffernan, University College Dublin
