Based on primary research conducted in Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu, the book investigates contested sporting spaces as sites of infrapolitics intersected primarily by gender and also by other markers of inequality including ethnicity, sexuality, class and geopolitics. Contrary to historical and contemporary representations of Pacific Island women as victims of gender injustice, it explores how these athletes and those who support them actively carve out space for their transformative agency. Pacific Island Women and Contested Sporting Spaces: Staking Their Claim focuses on a region underexamined by sport or gender studies researchers and will be of key interest to scholars and students in gender studies, sport studies, sociology, and Pacific Studies as well as sport practitioners and policymakers"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aGlobal Gender Series 606 $aWomen athletes$zIslands of the Pacific 606 $aSports for women$zIslands of the Pacific 606 $aSports$xSocial aspects$zIslands of the Pacific 606 $aSex role$zIslands of the Pacific 615 0$aWomen athletes 615 0$aSports for women 615 0$aSports$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSex role 676 $a796.082 686 $aSOC032000$2bisacsh 700 $aKanemasu$b Yoko$01461192 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910774609403321 996 $aPacific Island Women and Contested Sporting Spaces$93664869 997 $aUNINA
