ISBN: 9781138883512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is an exacting social history of Indian cricket between 1780 and 1947. It considers cricket as a derivative sport, creatively adapted to suit modern Indian socio-cultural needs, fulfil political imperatives and satisfy economic aspirations. Majumdar argues that cricket was a means to cross class barriers and had a healthy following even outside the aristocracy and upper middle classes well over a century ago. Indeed, in some ways, the democratization of the sport anticipated the democratization of the Indian polity itself. Boria Majumdar reveals the appropriation,...

ISBN: 9780415390545 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Sport has become more than a simple physical expression or game- it now pervades all societies at all levels and has become bound up in nationalism, entertainment, patriotism and culture.

India and the Olympics
ISBN: 9780415655118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In most accounts of Olympic history across the world, India's Olympic journey is a mere footnote. This book is a corrective. Drawing on newly available and hitherto unused archival sources, it demonstrates that India was an important strategic outpost in the Olympic movement that started as a global phenomenon at the turn of the twentieth century. Among the questions the authors answer are: When and how did the Olympic ideology take root in India? Who were the early players and why did they appropriate Olympic sport to further their political ambitions? What explains India's eight consecutive...

Sport in South Asian Society : Past and Present
ISBN: 9780415359535 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Drawing inspiration from C.L.R. James' well-known epigram, "What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?" the book suggests that South Asian sports make sense only when placed within the broader colonial and post colonial context. It demonstrates that sports not only influence politics and vice versa, but that the two are inseparable. Sports are not only political; they are politics, intrigue, culture, and art. To deny this is to denigrate the position of sports in modern South Asian society.
This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal "Sport in the... Drawing inspiration from C.L.R. James' well-known epigram, "What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?" the book suggests that South Asian sp...
