Journal of Olympic History 3/2011
The final issue of the Journal of Olympic History in 2011 includes a total of six academic articles from various fields of Olympic studies. All of them offer interesting perspectives on subject matter that may be less familiar to some. The opening article by Luis Silva and Hans-Dieter Gerber reflects the tremendous research these two authors have carried out into the Arab Games and gives a very coherent and detailed overview of this very special sporting event. The other articles deal more specifically with the Olympic Games and encompass diverse perspectives:
