In fourteen essays that speak to the full breadth of George L.

Free Download Steve Bien-Aimé, "Perceptions of East Asian and Asian North American Athletics "
English | ISBN: 303097779X | 2022 | 372 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book highlights inconsistencies within the field of sports scholarship and provides an opportunity to open up and extend conversations about the intersection of sports media and race ― particularly surrounding athletes of East Asian descent. Despite the growing influence of East Asian and Asian American/Canadian athletes, they are still underrepresented in Western media and in scholarship. This anthology adds much-needed literature to sports, popular culture, East Asian, and Asian American studies. The prominence of sports in global popular culture makes the intersections explored in this collection a crucial addition to existing conversations about both sports and East Asian/Asian American/Canadian studies.
