The Struggle for Canadian Sport

'A primary source not only of historical changes in Canadian sport but also of worldwide change to capitalist-dominated sport.' -- D.M. Furst Choice 'Kidd's book reflects not only one of the best understandings of Canadian sport history that I know, but the passion of the man. Bruce Kidd is not just a social historian of sport, but a sportsman, an activist and a reformer, and it shows in his writing.' -- Angela Schneider The Globe and Mail 'An intelligent, well-researched and thought-provoking chronicle, destined to be a valued reference text.' -- Robin Brown Canadian Forum '[The Struggle for Canadian Sport is a book that can be readily recommended to historians of Canadian sport and society, as well as to anyone with even a purely general interest in either of these areas.' -- Richard V.
