Reviews for Globalization and Sport
“The most intriguing parts of the book are where historical details of specific sports—cricket, soccer, Gaelic football, hurling, speed skating, baseball—are offered as evidence for the essayists' arguments on how the local interacts with outside forces, whether protecting, mimicking or influencing.” (YaleGlobal Online Magazine, May 2009)
