In his new book Olympic Outliers: Brisbane 2032 and the Future of the Olympic Games (Routledge), sport journalism scholar Peter English examines the significance of the Brisbane Olympics and Paralympics, taking place in 2032, in the context of the history and future of the Olympic Movement and the fact that Brisbane is an outlier host. Our reviewer is Angela Stănescu, and she found the book thought-provoking, particularly in using the case of Brisbane to raise conversations around the impact of the Olympic Games for local communities. The Games, she opines, should be critically analyzed beyond the romanticized and idealized version usually presented. With this in mind she found the book significantly valuable.
