As a recidivist Marxist I am more comfortable with some of the more explicitly Marxist papers here, and am delighted to see a meaningful and serious engagement with political economy. I'll be going back and using McDonald's critique of sport in capitalist society using Marcuse's 'one-dimensional man' model, Beamish's Olympics and alienation argument, Andrews's recovery of Ernst Mandel in Fredric Jameson, and Bairner recovery of Gramsci for Marxism.

The most unsettling papers are three case studies of what the editors call 'sporting poetics' that in their form and content and their more marginal Marxism point to the fundamental gap that the Marxism-cultural studies contradiction turns on — Marxism's difficulties with small scale scenarios — individual celebrity and so forth. It is definitely a book for upper level university students and others of us in pointy-head land, and I suspect a really important one.
