Reviews
With sophisticated analysis and descriptive pros e, Testing for Athlete Citizenship offers provocative arguments. Author Kathryn Henne breaks new ground in showing that testing practices are not just about catching 'cheaters, ' but are implicated in corporal, gendered, economic, and postcolonial ideologies. --Mary G. McDonald Professor and Homer C. Rice Chair in Sports and Society, Georgia Institute of Te (09/12/2014)
A masterpiece of hybrid governance. This book chronicles with nuance the entire global history of a regulatory regime, yet through a micro lens, through the eyes and bodies of colonized athletes.A landmark of gendered and racialized problematics of fair play. --John Braithwaite Distinguished Professor at the Australian National University (01/13/2015)
