Description

Chris Collins and Steve Jackson have gathered together for this book key researchers and academics throughout New Zealand, all of whom are active in research and teaching in the field of sport studies in various institutions. The result is a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of different aspects of sport in the social setting, focusing on New Zealand. Chapters in the 2nd edition have either been entirely re-written or updated, covering sport in relation to major theoretical perspectives, identity, culture, globalisation, media, politics, government, education, religion, the Treaty of Waitangi, gender, drugs, violence, coaching and the future. New chapters include sport historiography, sport and our past, Maori sport, sport policy, sport and masculinity, and sport and the body. Not only are key theoretical issues covered in each of these areas, but the book also endeavours to point the reader towards practical implications, such as for policy and management.
