Cricket and Globalization
ISBN: 9781443823708 / Twarda / 2010 / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cricket has changed dramatically in recent years and now can claim to be a truly global game, thanks in large part to new media technologies which bring a global audience for World Cups and other major competitions. However, the globalization of cricket has not followed a pattern familiar in other sports: concentrations of wealth, media, and marketing leading to the domination of Western countries over the rest, and this fact alone makes it interesting for scholars of the globalization of sport. Cricket has followed a very different global path; the non-Western countries (former British...

Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game, 1945-2017
ISBN: 9781138839854 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Cricket is an enduring paradox. On the one hand, it symbolises much that is outmoded - imperialism; a leisured elite; a rural, aristocratic Englishness. On the other, it endures as a global game, and does so by skilful adaptation, trading partly on its mythic past and partly on its capacity to repackage itself for a postmodern, digital world. In this ambitious and important new history, Stephen Wagg tells the story of cricket around the world since the Second World War, examining key cultural and political themes, from decolonisation and globalisation to corruption, commercialisation and...

East Plays West: Sport and the Cold War
ISBN: 9780415359276 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Cold War spanned some five decades from the devastation that remained after World War Two until the fall of the Berlin wall, and for much of that time the perception was that only on the Eastern side were politics and sport inextricably linked. However, this assumption underestimates the extent to which sport was an important symbol for both power blocs in their ongoing ideological struggle. This collection of essays from leading international authorities on sport, culture and ideology brings together an impressive body of work organized around key political themes and...
