More About This Book

Overview

This sequel to Nauright and Chandler's Making Men: Rugby and Masculine Identity seeks to understand what has happened to rugby as it has moved from the private realm of the English public school to the global realm dominated by Rupert Murdoch and other media entrepreneurs. It explores rugby and issues of race in the Empire/Commonwealth, rugby in non-British societies, women's rugby, homophobia and rugby, and nationalism and rugby, before turning to the massive impact that globalization, professionalization and commercialization have had on the sport." "The authors see rugby's transformation less as the funeral of the past and more as a slow erosion of the old amateur order. Far from rushing to condemn the forces reshaping rugby, they stress that we must understand the complex interrelationships between the sport and the forces surrounding it if we are to have any chance of shaping its future.
