The Passion of Tiger Woods

An Anthropologist Reports on Golf, Race, and Celebrity Scandal

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the career of Tiger Woods, from child star to global sports celebrity. Starn shows that while the scandal following the revelation of Tiger's infidelities was like many similar media-generated scandals of recent years, by examining the way Woods was seen afterwards, we can learn a lot about race and sex in contemporary America.
