Description

For over a century, sports media and academic accounts have often ignored or excluded the Asian American presence in athletics. This book by Routledge addresses this gap by providing a detailed look at the history and importance of Asian American athletes, coaches, and teams across North America. By looking at the sociocultural contexts in which these individuals lived and competed, this volume offers a much-needed perspective on a demographic that has been routinely made absent from the mainstream sporting narrative. It moves beyond the traditional black and white staging of athletics to present a more complete picture of the sporting landscape. This work is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of culture and sport. It provides a comprehensive view of how Asian Americans have navigated and shaped the world of sports, making it a valuable addition to any academic or personal library focused on sociology and history.
