The first part of this book, drawing from theories articulated by Tony Collins and Andy Harper, argues that both rugby union and Australian rules in colonial Australia were expressions of British nationalism, promoted and reinforced by the colonial power structures. Meanwhile, soccer, despite its widespread popularity in Britain, was excluded as the hegemonic football code from the colonial sporting landscape. The author argues that the origins of colonial football can be traced to the independent boys? school system, where football was first developed before spreading to the wider community. The second part of this book shifts focus to senior community sport, exploring its role as an extension of British nationalism beyond the school system. Through case studies of horse racing, cricket, yachting, and lawn bowls, this book demonstrates how these activities reinforced British cultural identity within colonial communities but were linked to commercial interests. While the organizational structures and purposes of school-based and adult community-based sports differed, this analysis reveals that both ultimately served to affirm British nationalist ideals. School sports were closely tied to education, discipline, and the cultivation of elite leadership, while adult community sports catered more to leisure, entertainment, and social cohesion. Despite these distinctions, both realms contributed to the broader narrative of colonial sport as a vehicle for British cultural hegemony. Relevant to scholars and students in both sports studies and history, this book provides a timely reset for Australian sporting history. . 410 0$aHistory Series 606 $aSports$xHistory 606 $aSports$xSociological aspects 606 $aCommunication in sports 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aPostcolonialism 606 $aEducation 606 $aBusiness 606 $aManagement science 606 $aSport History 606 $aSport Sociology 606 $aSports Communication 606 $aPostcolonial Philosophy 606 $aEducation 606 $aBusiness and Management 615 0$aSports$xHistory. 615 0$aSports$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aCommunication in sports. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 14$aSport History. 615 24$aSport Sociology. 615 24$aSports Communication. 615 24$aPostcolonial Philosophy. 615 24$aEducation. 615 24$aBusiness and Management. 676 $a790.09 700 $aGeorgakis$b Steve$01886131 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911049097803321 996 $aTowards a Theoretical Understanding of Australian Colonial Sport$94521522 997 $aUNINA
