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...

Cricket and Globalization
ISBN: 9781443823708 / Twarda / 2010 / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

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...
