The Games Ethic and Imperialism cover

This is more than a description of the imperial spread of public school games: it considers hegemony and patronage, ideals and idealism, educational values and aspirations, cultural assimilation and adaptation and the dissemination of the moralistic ideology of athleticism.

"Dr Mangan's book is outstandingly good at making things clear without oversimplifiying them, and remaining readable while never losing his high standard of scholarship and seriousness. This is a masterly book." - Catholic Herald

"an influential book and an ideal text for courses in the history of imperialism and the history of sport" - Allen Guttman
