Is sport good for kids? When answering this question, both critics and advocates of youth sports tend to fixate on matters of health, whether condemning contact sports for their concussion risk or prescribing athletics as a cure for the childhood obesity epidemic. Childs Play presents a more nuanced examination of the issue, considering not only the physical impacts of youth athletics, but its psychological and social ramifications as well. The eleven original scholarly essays in this collection provide a probing look into how sportsin community athletic leagues, in schools, and even on televisionplay a major role in how young people view themselves, shape their identities, and imagine their place in society. Rather than focusing exclusively on self-proclaimed jocks, the book considers how the culture of sports affects a wide variety of children and young people, including those who opt out of athletics. Not only does Childs Play examine disparities across lines of race, class, and gender, it also offers detailed examinations of how various minority populations, from transgender youth to Muslim immigrant girls, have participated in youth sports. Taken together, these essays offer a wide range of approaches to understanding the sociology of youth sports, including data-driven analyses that examine national trends, as well as ethnographic research that gives a voice to individual kids. Childs Play thus presents a comprehensive and compelling analysis of how, for better and for worse, the culture of sports is integral to the development of young peopleand with them, the future of our society.

Recensioner i media

"A carefully crafted and meticulously organized anthology, Child's Play provides a much needed research agenda for studying physical activities and sport participation among young people, and serves as a valuable source of information for any parent or adult concerned about youth sports." -- Jay Coakley * author of Sports in Society: Issues and Controversies * "A much needed contribution to the fields of childhood and sport studies." * Sport in American History * "Together, these essays present an understanding of youth sports supported by research data and ethnographic data that share a childs voice. This convincing collection recognizes the culture of youth sport and its bearing on the growth of youth. It is for anyone interested in youth sports... Highly recommended." * Choice * "Messner and Musto have pulled together a powerful collection of essays that offer panoramic insight and riveting detail. The voices of kids are truly revelatory and powerfully demonstrate childrens cultural fluency within the constraints of age and other inequities. Childs Play is a rare achievement that centers kids experience in sports while using it as a crucial prism onto other major sociological projects." -- Allison Pugh * University of Virginia *
