America's Obsession: Sports and Society Since 1945
Richard O. Davies
Opis lub recenzja książki
As the first book in a series of books on America since 1945 - edited by Gerald D. Nash and Richard W. Etulian, both of the University of Mexico - Davies sets a standard of insightful historical interpretation. The author examines sports as a microcosm of national life, from the use of sports seasons to mark time (i.e. football, baseball and basketball as opposed to spring, summer and autumn) to the propensity for starving our educational system while dumping millions into stadium and high-school athletic programs. Features: * Chapters begin with biographical sketches of figures whose history typifies the theme of the chapter. * Coverage of racism and the politics of the Olympics is combined with discussion of often overlooked topics such as youth sports, gambling, college ahtletics and sexism.
