| Sumario: | This book is designed to reflect both our current knowledge regarding sport, globalisation and '""encounters"" with several important ""post-colonial"" or non-western societies and to draw together scholars from a range of different disciplines.

These case studies bring together insights from anthropology, cultural studies, geography |
