This interdisciplinary book presents the first in-depth study of the representation of one of the towering figures in German public life and popular culture during the twentieth century, the boxer Max Schmeling (1905-2005). Schmeling"s sporting and business career spanned some eighty years of turbulent German history, but he is best remembered for his politically charged fights against the black American boxer Joe Louis in 1936 and 1938. By the time of his death Schmeling had become a German cultural icon with few parallels and was a "hero" to many. This volume reveals the strategies used to represent a sporting "hero", and reflects on how these can offer insights into the broader political and theoretical questions that shape "national" identity and culture, as well as exploring the cultural function of sport in the Weimar Republic and in Nazi Germany. In doing so it makes a distinctive contribution to the cultural history of sport, a field in which there is increasing interest.

Recenzijas

Hughes is clear that his intentions are not biographical his chronological treatment of Schmelings life makes for an engagingly readable book. The writing is clear and straightforward, readily accessible to advanced undergraduate or nonspecialists, while the generous quotation of primary sources in the original German alongside the authors translation would also make this useful in a graduate seminar or for readers with a more advanced interest in German studies.
