Congratulations to Keith Rathbone for publishing ‘Sport and physical culture in Occupied France’

Congratulations to Keith Rathbone for the publication of Sport and physical culture in Occupied France: Authoritarianism, agency, and everyday life (Manchester University Press, 2022). The book examines the Vichy state’s attempts to promote physical education and sports in order to rejuvenate French men and women during the Occupation. Through this cultural lens, it illuminates the central paradox of state power during the Vichy Regime.
