This study examines gender and sexuality in relation to colonialism of sport mega-events. Built around four case studies in postcolonial and settler colonial context : the Olympics in Vancouver, London and Sochi and soccer fans in the Egyptian revolution, the book examines sporting 'homonationalism' and anti-colonial resistance. The first part discusses different moments of ‘homonationalism’ in sport. The second part explores how indigenous and anti-colonial protests against mega-sport events lead to different views about gender and sexuality politics in sport.
