520 # # |a This volume brings together studies from various disciplines of the social sciences and humanities (Anthropology, Sociology, Cultural Studies, History and Literary theory) that examine the equestrian world as a historically gendered and highly dynamic field of contemporary sport and culture.� From elite international dressage and jumping, polo and the turf, to the rodeo world of the Americas and popular forms of equestrian sport and culture, we are introduced to a range of issues��as they unfold at�local and global, national and international levels. Students and scholars of gender, culture and sport� will find much of interest in this original look at contemporary issues such as engendered (women s and men s) dentities/subjectivities of equestrians, representations of girls, horses and the world of adventure in juvenile fiction;� the current feminization of particular equestrian activities (and where boys and men stand in relation to this);� how broad forms of social inequality and stratification play themselves out within gendered equestrian contexts; men and women and their relation to horses within the framework of current discussions on the relation of animals to humans (which may� include not only love and care, but also exploitation and violence), among others.� Singular contributions�that incorporate a wide variety of classic and contemporary theoretical perspectives and empirical methodologies show how� �horse cultures around the globe contribute to historical and current constructions of embodied femininities and masculinities , reflecting a world that has been moving beyond the binaries while continuing to be enmeshed in their persistent and contradictory legacy. �The final chapter makes a brave attempt at synthesizing individual chapters and moving forward from the evidences they provide, �to suggest a compelling agenda for future research.� � �
