Call for Manuscripts | “Sport, History and Culture” | Book series from Peter Lang Publishing Group

0

Peter Lang are seeking proposals for the series Sport, History and Culture, edited by Professor Matt Taylor and Professsor Richard Holt (both of De Montfort University).

This series publishes monographs, edited collections and reprints of classic studies on the history and the contemporary role of sport, primarily in Britain and Europe but including other parts of the world. The editors wish to make available the very best of recent doctoral and post-doctoral work in the subject area whilst also looking to established scholars for major new books or collections of articles.

Although the focus of the series is historical, it also embraces more contemporary interdisciplinary studies of the role of sport as a local, national and global phenomenon. The series includes both new and established areas of research into the class, age and gender dimensions of sport as well as its political and ideological aspects, including nationalism, imperialism and post-colonialism. The editors wish to encourage economic and transnational studies of sport as well as new work on ethnicity, sports literature and material culture. The series will also reflect on the significance for the writing of sports history of new cultural and theoretical debates.

Genuinely international in approach, the series also seeks to publish English translations of some of the most outstanding scholarship on the history and culture of sport in Europe, South America and beyond. The series aims to act as a focus for the historical study of sport internationally and facilitate interdisciplinary debate on the subject.

Recent volumes include Paul Ian Campbell’s Football, Ethnicity and Community: The Life of an African-Caribbean Football Club, winner of the 2017 British Sociological Association Philip Abrams Memorial Prize.

Please contact commissioning editor Philip Dunshea (p.dunshea@peterlang.com) if you would like more information on the series, or if you would like to discuss a proposal.
