Abstract
This long-awaited volume of ASSH Studies brings together a variety of equine case studies from Europe and Australasia, and the contributors deftly expose histories of both rapid transition and resilient continuity in horse sports around the globe. In examining the literary and other cultures surrounding horseracing, and the gender and class relations of those who have worked in the racing industries, this anthology serves as a unique investigation into the depth, novelty and incompleteness of today's globalising of these very old sporting worlds.
