Books by J.A. Mangan

Hunting was seen as a manifestation of Darwinian masculinity that maintained a pre-ordained hierarchical order of superordinate and subordinate breeds. This book examines these ideas under such sections as martial imperialism; the self-sacrificial subaltern; and, 'blooding' the middle class martial male.

This book describes the imperial spread of public school games through a consideration of hegemony and patronage, ideals and idealism, educational values and aspirations, cultural assimilation and adaptation.
