Associations with class, hegemonic masculinity and racialized inclusions/exclusions, however, sit alongside developments such as women's boxing and involvement in Mixed Martial Arts.This book will be the first to use boxing as a vehicle for exploring social, cultural and political change in a global context. It will consider to what degree and in what ways boxing reflects social transformations, and whether and how it contributes to those transformations. In exploring the relationship it will provide new ways of thinking critically about the everyday.Globalizing Sport StudiesBoxingBoxing.306.483Woodward Kath315558MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRU9910597158603321Globalizing Boxing1804101UNINA
