AND GLOBALISATION
Stopping Play
Edited by Jon Dart and Stephen Wagg
Global Culture and Sport Series
Series Editors: Stephen Wagg, Leeds Beckett University, UK, and David
Andrews, University of Maryland, USA Th e Global Culture and Sport
series aims to contribute to and advance the debate about sport and glo-
balization through engaging with various aspects of sport culture as a
vehicle for critically excavating the tensions between the global and the
local, transformation and tradition and sameness and diff erence. With
studies ranging from snowboarding bodies, the globalization of rugby
and the Olympics, to sport and migration, issues of racism and gender,
and sport in the Arab world, this series showcases the range of exciting,
pioneering research being developed in the fi eld of sport sociology.
