The magic of running successfully demystified
In his new book Running, Identity and Meaning: The Pursuit of Distinction Through Sport (Emerald), Neil Baxter showcases how gender, class, age and ethnicity influence whether and how different groups participate in the sport, and explores its role in the reproduction of social structure and the search for distinction. While noting a narrow British perspective, on balance our reviewer Lise Joern is impressed by the author’s effort and warmly recommends the book.
