Despite the growing influence of East Asian and Asian American\/Canadian athletes, they are still underrepresented in Western media and in scholarship. This anthology adds much-needed literature to sports, popular culture, East Asian, and Asian American studies. The prominence of sports in global popular culture makes the intersections explored in this collection a crucial addition to existing conversations about both sports and East Asian\/Asian American\/Canadian studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e​Part I: Power of China in global sports culture\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 -- “ ‘Big does not even begin to describe her enduring impact’: Global sports development and China as sporting superpower” by Oliver Rick \u0026amp; Longxi Li\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2 -- “Five teams, one world: Global audiences for the Chinese Professional Baseball League in the wake of COVID-19” by Nick Bowman, Alex Hsu, \u0026amp; Lindsey Resignato  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 -- “Country of Origin Bias in Portrayal of East Asian and Asian American Athletes: The NBA-Hong Kong Episode” by Olga Vilceanu \u0026amp; Julia Richmond\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Sports media portrayals of East Asian athletes and leagues \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4 -- “ ‘No Attack, No Chance’: Takuma Sato’s Race Against the Trope of ‘Bad Asian Drivers’ ” by Dung Q.
