Sport, Identity and Ethnicity (Ethnicity and Identity)

"a useful contribution to our understanding of the multitudinous ways in which sports contribute to the making and remaking of social identities." --The Australian Journal of Anthropology

"offers valuable and suggestive insights regarding a variety of sporting forms that have received relatively little attention from historians and sociologists. It also serves the academic community well by drawing our attention to the possibilities that exist within an approach to studying play, games, and sports that has yet to receive the attention it merits - the anthropological. [...] The scholarly community has great need of such works!" --The Sports Historian

"the collection provides interesting and varied insights into the ways in which sport plays a part in identity creation and confrontation. Its ethnographically rich contents deserve a wide readership." --Culture, Sport, Society

"The book presents a diversity of sports, some of them marginal by world standards of practice and popularity. However, the significance of these sports is understood by the way the authors integrate in their studies historical traditions, politics of identity and culturally constructed realities." --Social Anthropology

". . .the essays in MacClancy's readable and interesting collection demonstrate that sport is not only a reflection of society, but is also a major mode of expression." --International Sports Studies
