What can sport do to produce positive social change in our world today? Now in a fully revised, updated and expanded fourth edition, this critical, challenging and comprehensive textbook introduces the study of sport, culture and society. International in scope, the book challenges the reader to activate an audacious spirit of activism in and through sport. Full of contemporary examples, it places sport at the heart of the analysis and introduces the reader to every core topic and emerging area in the study of sport and society, including the history and politics of sport, gender, disability and advocacy, race and racism, violence and crime, health and wellbeing, media and digital communication, the environment, religion, poverty, and sport for development and peace. This edition features new material on sportswashing, sports management, debates around the inclusion/exclusion of transgender people in sport, and the Black Lives Matter movement. It also features a wider geographical range of examples and case studies, including from Latin America, China, India and Africa. Each chapter offers a wealth of useful features, such as 'Sport in Focus' case studies, chapter summaries, guides to further reading, revision questions, practical projects, definitions of key concepts, and weblinks. At its heart Sport, Culture and Society is an invitation to make a difference. This is a broad-ranging, in-depth and thoughtful introduction to the sociocultural analysis of sport and sets a new agenda for the discipline. It is essential reading for all students with an interest in sport. Additional, updated online teaching and learning resources are available, including a testbank, resource list and glossary.

Rezensionen
"Grant Jarvie is one of the most authoritative voices on sport and its wider role in international development and community cohesion." - Baroness Tessa Jowell, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, 2001-2007, Minister for the London Olympics and Paralympics, 2009-2010, UK

"Sport, Culture and Society endures as the seminal, inter-disciplinary work on the role sport has, does, and should play in domestic and international affairs. Now in its 3rd iteration, the book is beautifully written, deeply researched and organised in a highly logical manner. The new case studies, which validate robust and time-tested theories, demonstrate that Jarvie and his opus remain as the world's leading sources on all matters sport." - Stuart Murray, Associate Professor of International Relations and Diplomacy, Bond University, Australia

"I have always considered Grant Jarvie's Sport, Culture and Society one of the most insightful, comprehensive, and readable accounts of the dynamic place of sports in the contemporary world order. He's done even better in this significantly enlarged and updated 3rd edition. It's organized within a coherent theoretical lens, rich in examples drawn from every part of the world, and persuasively argued. What I particularly appreciate is his commitment to social justice, and his advice on how sports and sportspeople can either enable or undermine progressive social change." - Bruce Kidd, Vice President and Principal, University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada
