"Tennis is one of the world's most popular sports, as levels of participation and
spectatorship demonstrate. Moreover, tennis has always been one of the world's most
significant sports, expressing crucial fractures of social class, gender, sexuality,
race and ethnicity - both on and off court. This is the first book to undertake a
survey of the historical and socio-cultural sweep of tennis, exploring key themes
from governance, development and social inclusion to national identity and the role
of the media. It is presented in three parts: historical developments; culture and
representations; and politics and social issues, and features contributions by leading
tennis scholars from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The most authoritative
book published to date on the history, culture and politics of tennis, this is an
essential reference for any course or program examining the history, sociology, politics
or culture of sport"
