"These groundbreaking sports studies essays demonstrate how Africans past and present have utilized sports to forge complex identities and shape Africa's dynamic place in the world. Since the late-nineteenth century, modern sports in Africa have both reflected and shaped cultural, social, political, economic, generational, and gendered relations on the continent. Originally intended as a means of "civilizing" indigenous populations and upholding then-current notions of racial hierarchies and "muscular Christianity," Africans soon appropriated these sporting practices to fulfill their own varied interests. This social history collection encompasses a wide range of topics, including women footballers in Nigeria, Kenya's world-class long-distance runners, pitches and stadiums in communities large and small, fandom and pay-to-watch kiosks, the sporting diaspora, sports pedagogy, sport as resistance and as a means to forge identity, sports heritage, the impact of politics on sport, and sporting biography"-- |
