Patriotic Games: Sporting Traditions in the American Imagination, 1876-1926 - Sports and History
Pope, S. W. (Instructor, Instructor, University of Southern Maine, USA)
Between the 1880s and the 1920s sport became the most pervasive popular cultural activity in American society. Pope examines how this American sporting tradition emerged from a society fractured along class, race, ethnic, and gender lines, and became strongly linked with American patriotism.
