Power Games - A Political History of the Olympics
Verso BooksSivumäärä: 352 sivuaAsu: Pehmeäkantinen kirjaJulkaisuvuosi: 2016, 17.05.2016 (lisätietoa)Kieli: Englanti The Olympics have a checkered, sometimes scandalous, political history. Jules Boykoff, a former US Olympic team member, takes readers from the event's nineteenth-century origins, through the Games' flirtation with Fascism, and into the contemporary era of corporate control. Along the way he recounts vibrant alt-Olympic movements, such as the Workers' Games and Women's Games of the 1920s and 1930s as well as athlete-activists and political movements that stood up to challenge the Olympic machine.
