Book News Inc. August 2008Jay Coakley Professor Emeritus of Sociology University of Colorado at Colorado SpringsThis book is attractive across many courses but it would be used as a supplement or as part of a set of books for a course. I would consider using in my upper division course on the sociology of sport or in my popular culture course.... The contributors for the volume are excellent the ones I know are respected scholars that have been on the cutting edge of the cultural studies literature dealing with sports physical activities gender race class and the body. Collectively they have done provocative and insightful textual analyses and discussions of representational issues and processes in US culture.... If [Giardina and Donnely] could present this type of work as the next step in the literature on youthful sporting practices and use their introductions discussion questions and the final article by Shirley Steinberg to create some urgency among readers who might undertake such work in the future the collection would make a significant contribution to our understanding of youth cultures and sports as sitesData Publikacji: 2007-10-08
