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 aspectsamerican foreign relations.american imperialism.apartheid.athletes.beaches.blue crush.cold war.commodification.diplomacy.empire.gidget.globalization.hawaii.history of surfing.history.imperialism.individual sports.indonesia.industrial surfing.international politics.long 20th century.low wage labor.modern surf culture.ocean.political history of surfing.politics.repression.south africa.sports.surfing today.surfing.the beach boys.tourism.united states of america.wave riding.waves.SurfingHistory.SurfingPolitical aspects.797.3/2Laderman Scott1971-1487664MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790708003321Empire in waves3707630UNINA01447nam1 22002771i 450 UON0033776720231205104246.47020091013f1910 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| |||||Napoléon et l'Europepar Edouard DriaultParisFélix Alcanvv.001UON003373282001 Austerlitzla fin du saint-empire (1804-1806)Edouard Driault210 ParisFèlix Alcan1912215 VI, 492 p.23 cm.001UON003373562001 ˆLa ‰Chute de l'Empirela lègend de Napolèon (1812-1815)Edouard Driault210 ParisFèlix Alcan1927215 VI, 484 p.23 cm.001UON003373482001 ˆLe ‰Grand Empire (1809-1812)Edouard Driault210 PerisFèlix Alcan1924215 X, 424 p.23 cm.001UON003373092001 Politique Extèrieure du Premier Consul, 1800-1803Edouard Driault210 ParisFèlix Alcan1910215 VI, 481 p.23 cm.001UON003373382001 TilsitFrance et Russie sous le premier empire.
