Description

Explore a deep examination of the Paralympic Games in The Cultural Politics of the Paralympic Movement. This book from the Routledge Critical Studies in Sport series moves beyond the surface level of sporting spectacles to look at the real impact on the disability sport community. While many assume these Games act as a direct tool for empowerment, P. David Howe uses ethnographic methods to question this mainstream view. This academic work provides a critical look at how the Games have transitioned from a pastime to a global spectacle. By examining the social, political, and economic aspects of the movement, the text offers a fresh perspective on the profile of athletes with disabilities. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the intersection of sport, anthropology, and social politics.
