Sport, Revolution and the Beijing Olympics by Grant Jarvie, Dong-Jhy Hwang and Mel Brennan is a cultural history of sport in China in the run up to the 2008 Olympics and challenges many Western assumptions. The authors look at the relationship of sport to imperialism and revolution, and examine its significance in both China and Taiwan at governmental and everyday levels (publisher information).
