They each comprise a facet of sporting experiences in the western hemisphere that took place between the 1890s and the 1990s.This collection offers new insights on the role of sport in defining local, regional, national, and international cultures in the western hemisphere.

From national pastimes to ethnic traditions, from class sensibilities to racial ideologies, Sport in the Americas presents novel contributions that examine both the singular and manifold patterns of culture that sport animates.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in The International Journal of the History of Sport.
