Sport as a site of masculinity and gender relations

This volume examines how athletics in the United States both reflect and shape ideas of masculinity. Its sections approach the subject through distinct arenas, connecting the ways masculinity is woven into sport with questions of violence and changing gender relations. The book frames sport not simply as competition, but as a setting where gender norms are expressed, contested, and transformed. That focus makes it a study of sport’s broader social significance as well as its place in American life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying sport and society
  • Those interested in masculinity and gender relations
  • Students exploring violence and social norms in athletics

Book overview

Exploring the more sophisticated and nuanced perspective in the era of sports dominance in America, athletics have become both a metaphor and reality of American masculinity. Edited by three of the leading scholars at the intersection of masculinity and sports studies, this volume offers a fascinating articulation on the state of athletics in modern society. Each part of this volume examines a significant arena and tackles some of the most deeply rooted issues within the field of sports. From the mechanisms by which masculinity is interwoven into sports, to the violence encoded within the field, this book provides an insiders look at the state of gender relations being contested and transformed.
