Written by experts in history, sociology, sport journalism and public health, the book considers sport and injury in relation to matters of social class; gender; ethnicity and race; sexuality; political ideology and national identity; health and wellbeing; childhood; animal rights; and popular culture. These matters are, in turn, variously related to a range of sports, including ancient, pre- and early industrial sports; American football; boxing; wrestling and other combat sports; mountaineering; horseracing; cycling; motor racing; rugby football; cricket; association football; baseball; basketball; Crossfit; ice hockey; Olympic sports; Mixed Martial Arts; and sport in an imagined dystopian future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45279128551575,"sku":"9783030728281","price":16159.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030728281.webp?v=1769292758","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-palgrave-handbook-of-sport-politics-and-harm-9783030728281","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
