Arvustused

"An ideal curriculum textbook, Sports in American History: From Colonization to Globalization is exceptionally well written, organized, and presented. Very highly recommended for both community and academic library sports history reference collections and supplemental studies reading lists, Sports in American History will be much appreciated by both academia and nonspecialist general readers with an interest in the culture and history of American sports."

Midwest Book Review (review of first edition)

Sports in American History does a more than laudable job of including the ways in which individual women and nonwhites participated in and shaped American sport history; it also faithfully discusses and describes how the processes of colonization and Americanization and globalization occur, both through sport and concurrently.

Matt Hodler, Visiting Assistant Professor in Sport Leadership & Management, Miami University Department of Kinesiology & Health
