But is the story of surfing really as simple as popular culture suggests? In this first international political history of the sport, Scott Laderman shows that while wave riding is indeed capable of stimulating tremendous pleasure, its globalization went hand in hand with the blood and repression of the long twentieth century.   Emerging as an imperial instrument in post-annexation Hawaii, spawning a form of tourism that conquered the littoral Third World, tracing the struggle against South African apartheid, and employed as a diplomatic weapon in America's Cold War arsenal, the saga of modern surfing is only partially captured by Gidget, the Beach Boys, and the film Blue Crush. From nineteenth-century American empire-building in the Pacific to the low-wage labor of the surf industry today, Laderman argues that surfing in fact closely mirrored American foreign relations. Yet despite its less-than-golden past, the sport continues to captivate people worldwide. Whether in El Salvador or Indonesia or points between, the modern history of this cherished pastime is hardly an uncomplicated story of beachside bliss. Sometimes messy, occasionally contentious, but never dull, surfing offers us a whole new way of viewing our globalized world.Sport in World HistorySurfingHistorySurfingPolitical aspectsElectronic books.SurfingHistory.SurfingPolitical aspects.797.3/2Laderman Scott1971-1049511MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453268903321Empire in waves2478578UNINA01771nam0 2200397 i 450 CFI011469120231121125437.08878010693IT90-1071 20010319d1987 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nLetteratura latina tardoantica e altomedievaledi G.
