By then, Asia's share of global GDP would have doubled and it would have regained the dominant economic position it once held some 300 years ago before the industrial revolution. What is less well-known is that during the previous eras of globalization, Asia was also regionally integrated and globally connected. During the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries, Asia was divided and fragmented.International economic relationsEconomicsSouth AsiaEconomicsEast AsiaElectronic books.International economic relations.EconomicsEconomics337.5405Rana Pradumna Bickram530724MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451635903321Renaissance of Asia2265901UNINA02545nam 2200469 450 991015463240332120201010041825.00-252-09752-1(CKB)3710000000971638(MiAaPQ)EBC4792702(EXLCZ)99371000000097163820170210h20152015 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierComing on strong gender and sexuality in women's sport /Susan K.

In this new edition, Susan K. Cahn updates her detailed history of women's sport and the struggles over gender, sexuality, race, class, and policy that have often defined it. A new chapter explores the impact of Title IX and how the opportunities and interest in sports it helped create reshaped women's lives even as the legislation itself came under sustained attack.Sports for womenHistory20th centurySex discrimination against womenHistory20th centuryGender identitySports for womenHistorySex discrimination against womenHistoryGender identity.796.082Cahn Susan K.1152776MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154632403321Coming on strong2885188UNINA
