Review"[Fan Hong and Lu Zhouxiang] should be praised for bringing together this first major overview of sport in the vastness that is Asia. We have waited a long time for a volume like this one. In the Routledge Companion to Sports History published in 2010, Fan Hong opened the eyes of westerners to the strength of Chinese sports history. Now we have more, not just of sports history but also of contemporary sports issues across Asia." – Wray Vamplew, University of Edinburgh, The International Journal of the History of Sport"This ambitious compendium of 63 essays introduces readers to the vast subject of historical and contemporary sporting experiences of Asia, ranging across historical, geographic, and cultural borders. … Those sports/countries that are covered receive nuanced analysis. One important theme this volume tackles well is how Asian states have sought to deploy sport to advance their political agendas. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - J. S.
