Recenzii
[A] thought-provoking collaboration. . . . Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
Sex Segregation in Sports: Why Separate Is Not Equal recognizes an issue in society that may not be apparent, but surely needs to be addressed. . . . This book is effective in its ability to show how segregation was approached earlier in history and the overall significance of sports in individual and societal development. . . . This book does more than highlight the importance of that area of research. It also offers a detailed plan of implementation and addresses, with confidence, how to apply and evaluate the progress. Overall, it makes a compelling case for the conclusion that the integration of sports would not only benefit men and women but also adolescents as children learn traditional sex constructs that are reinforced through adolescence and adulthood through sports.
