The Sportsworld of the Hanshin Tigers

Angebote / Angebote:

The Sportsworld of the Hanshin Tigers is a long-awaited monograph on baseball in Japan by one of the most highly respected anthropologists of Japan. William Kelly includes wonderful detail and insights, plus fascinating behind-the-scenes accounts and analysis that add to our understanding of modern Japan. This book is obviously a labor of much blood, sweat, tears, and time, and the reader is much the richer for it."—Christine Yano, Professor of Anthropology, University of Hawaii at Manoa “A masterful account of the multiple meanings of baseball in Japan by a master anthropologist. Through vividly rendered vignettes of players, managers and corporate suits, fervent fans and pugnacious media, Kelly offers a compelling interpretation of the sportsworld of Japan’s often hapless but never boring Hanshin Tigers.  Moving fluidly backward and forward in time from the two full decades of his field work, Kelly also paints a convincing picture of the wider social and economic transformations of Japan from the 1950s to the present. A must read for anyone interested in Japanese sports or society, present or past.”—Andrew Gordon, Professor of History, Harvard University
