American Culture through Religion and Sport

An introduction to key facets of American culture through the lens of religion and sport

This book shows how both sports and religions reflect realities far beyond the boundaries of stadiums and churches. Chapters explore how sports and religions are intertwined with American cultural elements including capitalism, race relations, gender norms, and ­­­­­nationalism. These explorations encourage readers to apply critical inquiry to deeply embedded facets of American culture.

Each chapter contains:

- A summary of existing scholarship
- Case studies and examples
- A brief excerpt from a primary source
- Guided analysis of the excerpt
- Discussion questions
- Suggested further resources

Drawing out the historical context, social and cultural implications of sports and religion, and the inter-relatedness of sports, religions, economy and politics, this book is an innovative introduction to American culture and society.
