Kraftfull jubileumsskrift om idrott och civilsamhälle i Danmark.
I antologin Idrættens og civilsamfundets knaster: Kritiske samfundsvidenskabelige analyser (Syddansk Universitetsforlag) tar de olika författarna en närmare titt på några av de frågor inom idrott och civilsamhälle som ofta diskuteras. Varje avsnitt tar upp aktuella samhällsvetenskapliga frågor från en kritisk vinkel med syftet att skapa nya insikter som kan hjälpa till att övervinna "knastar" och skapa förändringar i civilsamhället och idrotten. Antologin, här recenserad av Mats Franzén, ges ut med anledning av 20-årsjubileet för Center for forskning i Idræt, Sundhed og Civilsamfund.
