Book Synopsis Sport, Identity and Ethnicity by : Jeremy MacClancy
Book excerpt: A collection of nine essays weighing the impact sports has on a society's expression and identity. The contributing social anthropologists apply critical cultural theories to topics in ethnicity, representation in Turkish wrestling, regional identity in Northern Pakistan as evidenced by the game of polo, female bullfighting, cricket as a form of social empowerment, soccer as a play of social protest and change in colonial Zimbabwe, and Spanish nationalism on the soccer fields.
