“Books support us in our solitude and keep us from being a burden to ourselves.” –Jeremy Collier

Synopsis

This book is designed to reflect both our current knowledge regarding sport, globalisation and '|encounters| with several important |post-colonial| or non-western societies and to draw together scholars from a range of different disciplines. Case studies of cultural encounters in Central, South-East Asia, Asia Minor and the Arabian peninsula capture the paradoxical processes of emulation, resistance and transformation that are at work in the diffusion and development of |sport| and body cultures. These case studies bring together insights from anthropology, cultural studies, geography, history, law, sociology, various area and post-colonial studies.
