Matters of sport : essays in honour of Eric Dunning

"Matters of Sport" is a tribute to Eric Dunning, the leading sports sociologist in the English-speaking world.

This book addresses Dunning's contributions to the sociological and historical study of sport, covering key topics such as hooliganism, celebrity, and gender relations.

A broad range of leading academics from Europe and North America reflect on the ways in which Dunning's work has influenced their own research and understanding of sport.

This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal "Sport in the Global Society."
