‘Edited by three of the most influential scholars in the global sociology of sport, the Handbook on Sport and Migration is a definitional text in the sub-field. Taking as the central foci how global sports systems are foundationally based on the flow of athletes between nations, and how such fluidity veritably shapes contemporary constructions of nationhood, space, boundaries, labour, economics, and identity/selfhood, the collection showcases theoretically compelling and substantively rich case studies from around the sporting globe. Handbook on Sport and Migration presents the most nuanced, comprehensive, comparative, and inclusive collection on sport migration from the micro-contextual to the transnational. As such, it is a clarion call for anyone fascinated with global sports studies.’
