Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Ultimate Fighting Championship and the present and future of women's sportsMixed martial arts stars like Amanda Nunes, Zhang Weili, and Ronda Rousey have made female athletes top draws in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Jennifer McClearen charts how the promotion incorporates women into its farflung media ventures and investigates the complexities surrounding female inclusion. On the one hand, the undeniable popularity of cards headlined by women add muchneeded diversity to the sporting landscape. On the other, the UFC leverages an illusion of promoting differencewhether gender, racial, ethnic, or sexualto grow its empire with an inexpensive and expendable pool of female fighters. McClearen illuminates how the UFC's halfhearted efforts at representation generate profit and cultural cachet while covering up the fact it exploits women of color, lesbians, gender nonconforming women, and others.Thought provoking and timely, Fighting Visibility tells the story of how a sports entertainment phenomenon made difference a part of its brandand the ways women paid the price for success.
