Pamela Grundy’s and Benjamin Rader’s American Sports: From the Age of Folk Games to the Age of the Internet (Routledge) provides a comprehensive and analytical look at how athletics have shaped and reflected American culture from the precolonial era to the modern day. We asked Łukasz Muniowski to read and review it’s new, ninth edition, and, having also used the previous edition to prepare his classes on American sports, his conclusion that it is “a wonderful textbook” must be considered well-founded.
