Football and literature in South America
The literature of sport has now assumed an established place in sport studies, recognized for its importance even by those whose background is not a literary one. The idea that sport is less an obj
Sport and 'Local Knowledge
En Inglaterra, durante más de un siglo el fútbol ha sido un importante punto de encuentro para las lealtades locales. En particular, el torneo de la Final de Copa, ha hecho crecer el sentimiento de rivalidad, al mismo tiempo que reúne varias dimensiones de identidad local, regional y nacional. Hasta los años 60, ser representado por su club de fútbol en la Final era uno de las principales recursos por los cuales las ciudades de provincia disfruta…

Cricket and Community in England, 1800 to the Present Day
One of the great untold stories of sport, so far as academic history is concerned, is that of local club cricket. With the notable exception of David Underdown's work on eighteenth-century cricket

Contemporary profile of oral manifestations of HIV/Aids and associated risk factors in a southeastern US clinic
OM continues to be common despite HAART. General OM and OPC were closely associated with a low baseline CD4 count. Knowledge of risk factors for OM can potentially help clinicians target oral evaluation of HIV-positive individuals

The American Dream of Chuck Ramkissoon
The place of cricket in American sport has been examined in some detail for the late nineteenth century. For the period thereafter, however, the subject has been overlooked, in spite of evident support for the game in various parts of the country at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The appearance in 2008 of Joseph O’Neill’s critically-acclaimed novel Netherland, which places cricket at the center of its New York-based story, prompts the…
I'll Run Him’
The comic-book hero Alf Tupper – ‘The Tough of the Track’ – dominated the fictional world of international middle-distance running from the 1950s to the 1990s. He was a true amateur who divided his life between running and his job as a welder. To a largely working-class readership of teenage boys in the Rover and the Victor, his stories spoke of an athletics tradition that had little in common with the upper-class gentlemanly amateurism to be fou…
A history of popular culture
Sport Stripped Bare
Modernization and decline were matters of intense debate and concern in the Britain of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Among the many strands that made up the debate were the issues of gender and masculinity. This article examines them by means of a close reading of texts taken from the often-overlooked field of creative writing and film. In both the novel and film of This Sporting Life, attention is turned to questions of sporting heroism, socia…

Introduction
In his contribution to this collection of articles Guttmann remarks: 'The intersection of sports and politics has been a major focus of contemporary sports history.' He goes on to provide a perceptive overview of some of the 'broad areas' in which engaged historians (as he describes them) have worked. It is important to be reminded of this activity, and of its extent, which is considerable. However, what Guttmann's discussion also reveals is an u…

Democratic Accountability and Governmental Innovation in the Use of Nonprofit Organizations
As nonprofit organizations perform many of the duties formerly discharged by government, the issue of democratic accountability becomes relevant. This article shows that governments are unwilling and, in some ways, unable to control such organizations completely. Moreover, we demonstrate how the innovative features of nonprofit organizations can directly serve to undercut democratic accountability

Manchester and Salford Politics and the Early Development of the Independent Labour Party
The grass-roots activities of the Independent Labour Party have been the subject of increased scrutiny from historians over the past few years, especially in the pages of this journal. Consequently we can now be a little surer about the contribution of the party to the development of an independent labour movement in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century, though with every fresh case-study a different local strategy seems to come to light.…
