Matters of Sport

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