Developing in a different context to many traditional sports, girls and women  have adopted highly proactive approaches and developed unique strategies to  negotiate space alongside their male peers in the waves, skate parks and  cityscapes, on mountains and climbing walls, along trails, as well as around  rinks. This  international collection features contributions from a group of leading and  emerging researchers, many of whom are passionate action sport participants  themselves. With authors representing a range of theoretical and disciplinary  perspectives including cultural studies, sociology, performance studies, media  studies, sport for development, and education, this book offers the first  collective focus on women in action sports cultures in the past, present and  into the future. Ultimately, the book offers a vivid and powerful illustration  of the new and ongoing struggles facing women in contemporary sporting  cultures, as well as the various strands of activism, agency and politics  being performed in the surf, on the slopes, and at the crag. The book will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of sociology of sport and physical culture, gender studies, youth cultures, sport history, and pedagogy and education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-04-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349688586\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-45797-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 387\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752484565132,"sku":"9781349688586","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349688586.jpg?v=1776695445","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349688586","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
