About This Item
St. Martin's Press, New York, 1990, 1990. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Royal octavo, hardcover, name on endpaper else fine in VG orange and gray pictorial dj. First edition, first printing. 305 pp. including index, plus preface, introduction, bibliography, notes. Sports are perhaps the most visible expression of the ideals of masculinity in our society, and figure as a training ground on which young boys are taught what it means to be a man. Given the involvement of sports with masculinity, the homosexual athlete becomes a paradox, and the recent explosive growth of gay sporting leagues, a puzzle.
