MACMILLAN Palgrave Handbook of Masculinity and Sport - Macmillan Book

Explore the evolving landscape of gender and athletics with The Palgrave Handbook of Masculinity and Sport. This comprehensive academic resource examines how masculinities in the West have undergone a rapid transformation over the last twenty years. As cultural homophobia has declined, the expression of masculinity has changed significantly, especially among younger generations. This handbook focuses on the impact of these shifts within men's team sports, which have moved toward a more diverse and inclusive culture. By bringing together work from established and emerging international scholars, the text offers a deep, interdisciplinary analysis of how modern masculinity relates to the world of sport. It is an essential resource for those studying the social sciences, sociology, and the changing dynamics of athletic culture.
