| Summary |
"Surfing has emerged from ancient roots to become a twenty-first century phenomenon - an 'alternative' sport, lifestyle and art form now with a global profile and ever-increasing numbers of participants. Drawing on popular surf culture, academic literature and the analytical tools of social theory, this book is the first sustained commentary on the contemporary social and cultural meaning of surfing." "Surfing and Social Theory provides students and researchers in sport, sociology, culture and geography with a new combination of perspectives, and a new research agenda."--Jacket |
