"This engaging, comprehensive textbook for sociology of sport courses takes a critical approach, focusing in particular on issues of power and inequality. By addressing questions such as ""Are sports free of racism and sexism?"" and ""Who pays for, and who benefits from, sports?"", students understand sport from a sociological perspective rather than as simply a spectator or participant."

Reviews for Sociology of Sport

I adopted this text because it is balanced. It encompasses all important topics to those interested in the role of sport in society. It is both readable and academically appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate classes. I will adopt it until I retire. * Steven Aicinena, U of Texas Permian Basin * I appreciate the approach and the examples in this text. It offers many sides of sport and physical activity, with good examples, and a level of writing that is easy for students to understand. There are no weaknesses. * Alicia Richards, University of Illinois *
