Sport and Secessionism: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Sport and Secessionism" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Sport and Secessionism examines how sporting cultures reflect, inform and sometimes frustrate secessionist movements around the world. Investigating a wide range of cases, the book explores key themes including nationalism, nation building, state-region antagonisms, independence movements, identity and ethnic politics, sovereignty and autonomy processes, all through the lens of sport.Sports are uniquely positioned to shed light on secessionist politics due to their pervasiveness in society, and their ability to absorb, reflect and produce political projections. The book presents analyses of a wide range of geographical, cultural and political contexts in which sports are deployed to pursue regional independence, or greater sovereignty and autonomy, and explores the dual processes of sub-national identity construction and state sovereignty deconstruction. The book includes fourteen cases from such diverse parts of the world as Ireland, Taiwan, Turkey, Catalonia, Biafra, Canada and the UK, among others.Offering a unique perspective on an important geopolitical issue, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport and politics, the sociology of sport, political science, political geography, nationalism studies or international history.

When Avery Brundage, who was then President of the United States Olympics Committee and later became President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), stated in response to calls for a boycott of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, which subsequently became commonly known as Hitlers Olympics (Hart-Davis 1986, Hilton 2011, Rippon 2006), that politics have no place in sport, he was guilty either of excessive idealism or, worse still, hypocrisy. With Brundages admiration for Hitler and his ideas having subsequently been revealed, it has become clear that it was almost certainly the latter. Those who argue that sport and politics do not mix are, in reality, often arguing that while their political beliefs do have a place in sport, those of others do not (Bairner et al. 2016). Nowhere is this more apparent in issues raised by the relationship between sport and the politics of secessionism.
