The principal aim of the book is to provide a publication opportunity for areas or regions like the Caribbean that are underrepresented in the literature on the sociology of sport. Consistent with this aim, the book welcomes contributions from across the English, Spanish, French or Dutch speaking Caribbean relating to the broad, albeit related areas of sport development and sport for development. More specifically, papers are welcomed on a wide array of issues that have come to define the contemporary scope of sport sociology which include notably, globalization, commercialization, professionalization, nationalism, gender, sexuality, governance, athletic migration, media, disability, fandom, community development together with other important issues related to age, race, ethnicity and class. Relatedly, contributions can include a diversity of sports such as athletics, baseball, basketball, boxing, cricket, gymnastics, netball, rugby, soccer, tennis etc. The book therefore seeks to cover a diverse range of Caribbean countries, themes and sports in an attempt to help fill the lacunae in the sociology of sport in the Caribbean.
