This has proven especially true for indigenous peoples. Colonial agents, ranging from administrators to missionaries—routinely misunderstood indigenous sporting practices and regularly worked to end them. At the same time, European athletic pursuits were seized upon as a means to social indigenous peoples, offering the discipline and enculturation necessary to civilize cultures deemed savage. Ironically perhaps, sport reinforced prevailing images and interpretations, precisely because its corporeality demonstrated its proponents believed the truism of their race-based distinctions. As such, sport became crucial to the establishment of social boundaries and racial hierarchies, encouraging the exclusion of brown bodies from white spaces and from emerging white settler states. Even as they sought to marginalize indigenous peoples, settlers made a habit of taking and remaking their practices (such as surfing and haka) for power, pleasure, and profit no less than for the claims on place and to identity it offered them. Importantly, in the wake of the Second World War and quickened by freedom struggles locally and globally, a decolonial moment opened and with it the possibilities of sport changed radically. Rather than civilize indigenous peoples (whatever that might mean), sport opened significant sites to challenge the prevailing imperial order and its racial logics and to formulate novel identities that empowered previously marginalized communities. Across Australia, New Zealand/Aotearoa, and the United States, sport played a key role in causing this break and in the manner that native and settler communities would work to come to terms with it. While multiculturalism came to prevail in distinct forms in each of these settler states, racism directed at indigenous people did not go away so much as it was recoded, moved back stage, or redirected: the struggles of P akeh a in New Zealand/Aotearoa to come to terms with M aori in rugby, the racism that persists in recruiting Aboriginal Australian footballers in Australia, and the exploitation of Polynesian bodies and","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523360903550215","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The record for any kind of organized sport is completely absent, and there are few references to ball games and children's play, but well-documented are the dances, cockfights, and card games that were the most common recreational activities among adults. Holidays offered opportunities for horse racing, bullfights and other special entertainments. Although the authorities frowned on many recreational activities, especially dancing and card games, as morally corrupting, the population in general found in these entertainments an escape from the uncertainties of life on an isolated and often hostile frontier. Early San Antonio, then, was home to Hispanic frontiersmen whose recreational activities reflected the Spanish origins of much of New Spain's popular culture.","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2009-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523360902826970","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I ended the interview by recalling my own memories of the games, as a 12-year-old watching the events on a black-and-white television in England. For me, four salient moments stood out: Bob Beaman’s record-breaking long-jump; Dick Fosbury’s revolutionary technique in the high-jump; the raised fists of the African-American athletes; and, being British, the unforgettable commentary of David Coleman, as he saw David Hemery home to victory in the final of the men’s 400 metres hurdles. Expecting a positive reply, I asked if he was pleased that the majority of my recollections were of great sporting moments. He replied with a blunt ‘No’. Although he understood why I remembered what I had, he said that what the organizing committee had wanted above all else was for the world’s audience to remember Mexico. [1]. Bearing Ramı́rez Vázquez’s words in mind, this collection asks what Mexicans hoped to achieve by hosting the games and what image of Mexico they sought to portray. In doing so, it considers what these aspirations reveal about the nature of Mexican society 50 years after the Mexican Revolution (1910–17); a destructive civil war that was credited with having ended class privileges and ethnic tensions, and that had led Mexicans towards a bright future in which all its citizens had a stake. The 1968 games provided a rare opportunity for the nation to demonstrate such advances to a world-wide audience. It also presented an opportunity to separate substance from rhetoric and reveal the true extent of progress in post-revolutionary Mexico. Mexico’s bid to host the Olympic Games could hardly have come at a more contentious phase in international relations. As Cold War politics went, the 1960s was a particularly chilly period. The construction of the Berlin Wall, the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the Cuban Missile Crisis were all fresh in the minds of International Olympic Committee (IOC) delegates as they descended upon Baden-Baden in October 1963 to consider the candidates bidding for the 1968 games. In the years that followed, President John F. Kennedy and Malcolm X would be assassinated; the Vietnam War would escalate to new heights; Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara would be killed trying to export revolution to Latin America; and European colonialism would enter terminal decline as former African territories took on new names and new leaders and embarked on new disputes with their neighbours.

In order to understand how the modern fitness culture has become what it is today, it is important to recognize how some of its roots had already evolved more than a century before. This article uses early developments of the ‘fitness industry’ in the Netherlands between 1850 and 1900 as an illustrative example. Against the background of the European struggle between Continental and Anglo-Saxon systems of physical education and sport, this article focuses on the connections that were made between industries, ideas, buildings, fitness equipment, manuals, magazines and the early body artists and entrepreneurs. The convergence between the early fitness industry and the ‘self-help industry’ contributed to a crucial shift from the ‘acrobatic, distant body’, to the commercialized, fit and good-looking bodies which were displayed and ‘sold’ as inspiring examples. This article questions some of the crucial preconditions of these processes of globalization of the early fitness industry.","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523360802212230","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Making use of the source material provided by a short-lived paper funded by the GAA, as well as the minutes of its central organisational bodies, it examines the paradigm of opposed Irish and British civilisations which underpinned ideas of the cultural role of sport. The article suggests that many of the attitudes evinced by the GAA actually derived from nineteenth century and contemporary British notions of team games and athletic competition. Nevertheless, by transforming sporting choice and preference into a badge of national identity, the article suggests that the GAA performed an important role within the touchy nationalism of the newly independent Irish Free State, and its conviction of its own importance helped fuel the elaboration of a genuinely distinctive variant of the European practice of sport.","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523360802212263","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

[4] Both meanings are secreted in the minatory comment by He Zhenliang, Chairman of the IOC Commission for the Culture of Olympic Education that the most significant outcome of the Beijing Games will be ‘the elevation of our Chinese people’s self-confidence and sense of pride’. [5] This assertion is not hard to understand. China’s ‘century of humiliation’ at the hands of first the West and then Japan remains a traumatic experience and arguably ‘has been a driving force . . . behind China’s exertions to press for global status in economics, in science and technology, in global politics and in sport.’ [6] Beijing 2008 is to assist the restoration of China’s national greatness through the erasing of the memory of a humbled, reduced and subordinate people and its replacement with a confident, risen and superordinate people: physical effort twisted into skeins of political action. Post 1949 this has been a designated task: ‘from the moment of the birth of the ‘‘New China’’’, sport has been . . . a means of internal and external projection illustrating the capacity of the system and people to more than hold their own with those of other nations. In short, sport has been the ‘stage’ on which the Chinese perform in pursuit of world recognition, respect and esteem.’ [7] New times have given new purpose to this performance as resources in recent decades have allowed stress to be placed on allusive winning ‘declamations’ in the global theatre of sport.

In the United States sport and nationalism have long been intertwined. [1] In the revolutionary ferment of 1776 that gave birth to the new nation, founding father John Adams commanded his callow countrymen to celebrate future anniversaries of Declaration of Independence with, among other grand ceremonies, ‘games’ and ‘sports’. [2] The use of sport to define a variety of national identities and the feverish quest to construct national pastimes that differed from the games of their former colonial overlords in Great Britain litter the early history of the United States. In prize fights, yacht races and pedestrian spectacles, American athletes sought to uphold their new nation’s pride and reputation against the former motherland – of sport and of much of the rest of American national culture. In baseball and American football, the United States constructed nationalistic alternatives to the spreading menace of British cricket and British varieties of football. [3] As the twentieth century loomed, the United States was already well-practised in crafting patriotism on playing fields. A tradition of engaging in international competitions and interpreting the results of those clashes as markers of national status had been firmly laid down. Americans celebrated nationalism not only in Independence Day sports and games as John Adams had famously commanded, but throughout the rest of the calendar as well. In the last decade of the nineteenth century a new forum for international sport, and for the crafting of patriotism, debuted. In the modern Olympic Games France’s Baron Pierre de Coubertin created a powerful forum for the display of nations. Clothed in the rhetoric of international cosmopolitanism like the world’s fairs on which the Baron modelled much of the initial Olympic structure, the games, like world’s fairs, have historically provided opportunities for rabid displays of national chauvinism. The measurement of nations, as de Coubertin himself understood, resides at the centre of the Olympic movement, the same place it occupied in the world’s fair movement. [4] The United States was well-suited and well-situated to take advantage of the Olympian possibilities for the manufacture of patriotism.
