Perhaps no other activity is more synonymous with passion, identity, bodily ideals, and the power of place than sport. As the essays in this volume show, the function of sport as a historical and cultural marker is particularly relevant in Latin America. This volume juxtaposes analyses of better-known activities such as boxing and soccer with first peoples' athletics, Cholita wrestling, and capoeira.
