The feel-good place to buy books
The Games Ethic and Imperialism by Ja Mangan
This is more than a description of the imperial spread of public school games: it considers hegemony and patronage, ideals and idealism, educational values and aspirations, cultural assimilation and adaptation and the dissemination of the moralistic ideology of athleticism."Dr Mangan's book is outstandingly good at making things clear without oversimplifiying them, and remaining readable while never losing his high standard of scholarship and seriousnessThis is a masterly book." - Catholic Herald
"an influential book and an ideal text for courses in the history of imperialism and the history of sport" - Allen Guttman
