Résumé : "This book explores the variegated ways in which Latin American and Caribbean societies
have been made through their participation in the Olympic Movement since its beginning
late in the nineteenth century. The study of the Olympic Movement, in its different
manifestations, not just following its European origins, but also considering the
agency, struggles, and contributions of Latin American and Caribbean societies to
this phenomenon offers a more balanced perspective of the Olympic Movement's history
and this region's role in it, while at the same time illuminating the role that the
Olympic Movement played in the making of this region. Thus, the book provides potent
vistas of the varied ways in which the Olympic Movement has played a significant role
in broader social, political, and cultural processes in these societies, and occasionally
beyond them. Similarly, it allows to observe and evaluate Latin American and Caribbean
influences on the Olympic Movement, as well as the actors and actresses, rationales,
and forces at play"
