Reviews
Sport and Peace-Building in Divided Societies is a testament to the longevity and far-reaching capacity of Sugden in the SDP movement. With the use of storytelling and first-hand accounts, Sugden and Tomlinson have created an accessible text, which engages with the ongoing arguments and theoretical discussions most prominent within SDP. By choosing to provide solutions alongside their critiques, the authors have created a text on sport for peace that is valuable to practitioners, researchers and academics. - Catherine Houston, University of Toronto, International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics
