Serving as an appropriate follow-up to her groundbreaking and oft-cited collection, Understanding Lifestyle Sports: Consumption, Identity, and Difference (2004), Belinda Wheaton’s new book invites readers to explore the political potential of under-theorized and differentially marginalized (sub)cultures within contemporary lifestyle sporting spaces. In so doing, she attempts to unearth some of the multilayered complexities with respect to what she terms the cultural politics of such lifestyle sports as surfing (including its various and multiple incarnations), skateboarding, rock-climbing, and parkour (or ‘free-running’).
