    Timely collection of case studies on the precariousness of Olympic Winter Games

    In the modern era, mere bids to host the Games have sparked fierce opposition from groups motivated by local or global concerns. According to our reviewer Russell Holden, Russell Fieldโ€™s edited collection Winters of Discontent: The Winter Olympics and a Half Century of Protest and Resistance (Illinois University Press), offers a valuable and long overdue insight into a surprisingly neglected area of sport history, which extends far beyond the niche status that has all too often been accorded to this significant sports gathering.

    This book performs a vital service for critical sport scholars

    โ€œAs manna from heavenโ€; that is one way of describing the arrival to the book stores of Sport, Protest and Globalisation: Stopping Play edited by Jon Dart and Stephen Wagg (Palgrave Macmillan). Our reviewer is Russell Holden, and besides noting a couple of omissions, he is thoroughly pleased, nay, enthusiastic over this anthology and its critical stance in relation to sports.

    An enjoyable, well written, and very Canadian tome on sport, politics and society

    Playing for Change: The Continuing Struggle for Sport and Recreation, edited by Russell Field (University of Toronto Press) is an homage, albeit in a very low-keyed, Canadian sort of way, to Bruce Kidd, athlete, activist and scholar. In his review for idrottsforum.org, Alan Bairner is very pleased with what he reads; however, he is unable to find in this book about struggle a discussion of gender and sexuality.
