Scottish Sport in the Making of the Nation by Grant Jarvie
A collection of essays by leading historians and sociologists on the importance of sport in the history of Scottish culture. Scotland, they agree, can be better understood through studying its sport and popular culture. Their wide-ranging study encompasses the historical and the contemporary, the male and the female, the royal and the commoner, the middle class and working class aspects of Scottish sport, as well as the role of the media and the churches in the generation of national sporting myths.
