Description
This collection by Routledge examines American sports through an interdisciplinary lens, blending anthropology with history, sociology, and political science to reveal how sports shape and reflect society. The essays explore professional baseball's global reach, including Major League Baseball's influence on the Dominican Republic, whilst examining the social, economic, cultural, and political dimensions of American athletics. The book investigates the relationship between developed and developing nations, the intersection of culture and masculinity, and how sports have evolved across time. Ideal for students and scholars seeking to understand sports not merely as entertainment or competition, but as windows into American identity, international relations, and social change, this work demonstrates how anthropological approaches uncover the deeper meanings embedded within athletic practices and institutions.

Key Features

American sports are examined through multiple disciplinary perspectives including anthropology, history, sociology, and political science.

Professional baseball receives detailed analysis, particularly Major League Baseball's significant impact on the Dominican Republic.

The collection explores connections between culture, masculinity, and the development of American sports traditions.

Essays address both local and global dimensions of sports, bridging developed and developing world contexts.

Routledge publishes this academic collection within the Sport in the Global Society series for scholarly audiences.
