Bare-Knuckle Britons and Fighting Irish

Boxing, Race, Religion and Nationality in the 18th and 19th Centuries

Omschrijving

Shows how boxers, journalists, politicians, publicans, and others used national, ethnic, religious, and racial identities to promote boxing. Even as many of them championed the sport's pure English pedigree, Irish, Jewish, and black boxers claimed a prominent place for themselves. Far from the unblemished Englishness that some supporters imagined, boxing put the diversity on display.
