Description
"In this comprehensive new book, Don Morrow and Kevin B. Wamsley trace the history of sport from its earliest beginnings through to the creation of the first sporting clubs and into the form we recognize today. The perception of sports figures as celebrities and its impact on Canadian culture, from the marketing of Barbara Ann Scott dolls to the shock and disappointment felt across Canada at the results of Ben Johnson's drug test results in 1988, is analyzed in detail. The authors provide an analysis that demonstrates the centrality of sport to Canadian identity while also exploring the influence of factors such as race class, and gender on the experience of sport in Canada." "The text includes numerous photographs, study questions, and related Web sites for each chapter. There is also a comprehensive bibliography of Canadian sport history that will provide any reader with the resources necessary to pursue further study."--Jacket.
