en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 apr 2016
Asian American Sporting Culturesdelves into the American sports arena to explore the long history of Asian American sporting cultures and considershowidentities and communities are negotiated on sporting fields.Through a close examination of Asian American sporting cultures ranging from boxing and basketball to spelling bees and wrestling, the contributors reveal the intimate connection between sport and identity formation. Sport plays a special role in the processes of citizen-making and of the policing of national and diasporic bodies. It is thus one key area in which Asian American stereotypes may be challenged, negotiated, and destroyed as athletic performances create multiple opportunities for claiming American identities.This volume incorporates work on Pacific Islander, South Asian, and Southeast Asian Americans as well as East Asian Americans, and explores how sports are gendered, includingexaminations of Asian American men s attempts to claim masculinity through sporting cultures as well as the Orientalism evident in discussions of mixed martial arts as practiced by Asian American female fighters. This American story illuminates how marginalized communities perform their American-ness through co-ethnic and co-racial sporting spaces. "
