An important contribution exploring how colonization, globalization, and national politics intersect with issues of identity in martial arts
The anthology Martial Arts in Latin Societies, edited by Augusto Rembrandt Rodríguez-Sánchez, Joaquín Piedra and George Jennings (Routledge), is the first book to explore martial arts and combat sports in Latin societies. We asked martial arts expert Anna Kavoura for a review, and her thorough reading and critical analysis is a clever companion to this sprawling collection of martial arts practices and national and cultural contexts within the Latin societies and the Philippines. Not without its flaws this is still an insightful and timely addition to the expanding body of martial arts scholarship.
