Gender Politics And The Olympic Industry by Helen Jefferson Lenskyj ($50.73, Palgrave Pivot).
Local scribe Helen Lenskyj has been a fierce critic of the Olympic movement for well over a decade, harnessing a wealth of data – and her own intense passion – to demonstrate the ways the five-ring circus marginalizes women, people of colour, athletes from developing countries and sexual minorities. She launches her new assault, Gender Politics And The Olympic Industry ($50.73, Palgrave Pivot, palgrave.com), on Friday (December 14) at the Canadian Lesbian & Gay Archives. See Readings.
