The study of the Olympic Movement, in its different manifestations, not just following its European origins, but also considering the agency, struggles, and contributions of Latin American and Caribbean societies to this phenomenon offers a more balanced perspective of the Olympic Movement's history and this region's role in it, while at the same time illuminating the role that the Olympic Movement played in the making of this region. Thus, the book provides potent vistas of the varied ways in which the Olympic Movement has played a significant role in broader social, political, and cultural processes in these societies, and occasionally beyond them. Similarly, it allows to observe and evaluate Latin American and Caribbean influences on the Olympic Movement, as well as the actors and actresses, rationales, and forces at play"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aSport, Culture, and Society 606 $aSports$zCaribbean Area$xHistory 606 $aSports$zLatin America$xHistory 606 $aNationalism and sports$zCaribbean Area 606 $aNationalism and sports$zLatin America 606 $aOlympics$xHistory 606 $aOlympics$xSocial aspects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aOlympics$xSocial aspects$zLatin America 606 $aOlympics$xParticipation, Latin American 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSports$xHistory. 615 0$aSports$xHistory. 615 0$aNationalism and sports 615 0$aNationalism and sports 615 0$aOlympics$xHistory. 615 0$aOlympics$xSocial aspects 615 0$aOlympics$xSocial aspects 615 0$aOlympics$xParticipation, Latin American. 676 $a796.48 700 $aSotomayor$b Antonio$0983754 702 $aTorres$b Cesar R. 712 02$aUniversity of Arkansas Press. 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910984675303321 996 $aOlimpismo$94333110 997 $aUNINA
