Book Synopsis Gender Politics and the Olympic Industry by : H. Lenskyj
Book excerpt: This book explores how the Olympic industry has shaped hegemonic concepts of sporting masculinities and femininities for its own profit and image-making ends, examining its continuing marginalization of athletes on account of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and class.
