Recenzii
Kath Woodward does a great job of demonstrating how boxing can provide a constructive site for exploring social, economic, political and cultural processes ... and [sheds] light on the many contradictions that shape boxing today ... Woodward's book is a good read for any boxing fan ... [as well as] academics and others interested in gender studies in sport.
Descriere
This book uses boxing as a vehicle for exploring social, cultural and political change in a global context. It considers to what degree and in what ways boxing reflects social transformations, and how it contributes to those transformations. Woodward provides new ways of thinking critically about our everyday assumptions and social world.
