Women’s Sport in Africa de Michelle Sikes

Women’s Sport in Africa: Sport in the Global Society – Contemporary Perspectives

Editat de Michelle Sikes, John Bale
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 sep 2014
In recent decades Africa has emerged as a sporting giant. The African sporting phenomenon has been addressed in the popular press and it has also attracted scholarly interest; however, this interest is almost entirely focussed on men. Yet women’s participation in recreational and elite sport is worthy of exploration and research.
This path-breaking collection of essays provides an introduction to a variety of dimensions of women’s participation in African sports. Several key concepts are addressed in the book: women and media, women and sport-migration, sport and empowerment, sporting and social development, women’s sport and postcolonial Africa, and professional sport and economic development. This collection, authored by established scholars, will attract readership from students from Sports Studies to African Studies and from undergraduate students to university teachers.
This book was published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
