Produktbeschreibung

Commercial, media, and academic accounts have routinely erased, excluded, ignored, and otherwise made absent the Asian American presence in sport. This book seeks to redress this pattern of neglect by presenting a comprehensive perspective on the history and significance of Asian American athletes, coaches, and teams in North America.
