Opis

This fascinating new collection is the first to examine the intersection of sport and religion from an international, religiously pluralistic perspective. In doing so, it taps into a wide range of issues within the history and sociology of sport, including ethnicity, identity, community and social anthropology. The book offers a series of cutting-edge contemporary historical case studies; including, sport and Catholicism in Northern Ireland, and Muhammad Ali and the Nation of Islam, sport and Christian fundamentalism in the US.
