We are publishing this series in response to the growing number of suggestions from our readers, who want more coverage of more people in Biography Today. Several volumes, covering Artists, Authors, Scientists and Inven- tors, Sports Figures, and World Leaders, have appeared thus far in the Subject Series. Each of these hardcover volumes is 200 pages in length and covers approximately 12 individuals of interest to readers ages 9 and above. The length and format of the entries will be like those found in the regular is- sues of Biography Today, but there is no duplication between the regular se- ries and the special subject volumes. The Plan of the Work As with the regular issues of Biography Today, this special subject volume on Sports was especially created to appeal to young readers in a format they can enjoy reading and readily understand. Each volume contains alphabeti- cally arranged sketches. Each entry provides at least one picture of the indi- vidual profiled, and bold-faced rubrics lead the reader to information on birth, youth, early memories, education, first jobs, marriage and family, ca- reer highlights, memorable experiences, hobbies, and honors and awards. Each of the entries ends with a list of easily, accessible sources designed to lead the student to further reading on the individual and a current address. Obituary entries are also included, written to provide a perspective on the in- dividual's entire career. Obituaries are clearly marked in both the table of contents and at the beginning of the entry. Biographies are prepared by Omnigraphics editors after extensive research, utilizing the most current materials available. Those sources that are general- ly available to students appear in the list of further reading at the end of the sketch. Indexes Beginning with all publications in 1999, a new Index appeared in Biography Today. In an effort to make the index easier to use, we have combined the Name and General Index into one, called the General Index. This new index contains

  • Imperialism and the 1999 Women's World Cup
    IMPERIALISM AND THE 1999 WOMEN’S WORLD CUP: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES AND NIGERIAN NATIONAL TEAMS IN THE U.S. MEDIA by Michele Canning A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida April 2009 Copyright by Michele Canning 2009 ii ABSTRACT Author: Michele Canning Title: Imperialism and the 1999 Women’s World Cup: Representations of the United States and Nigerian National Teams in the U.S. Media Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Josephine-Beoku-Betts Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2009 This research examines the U.S. media during the 1999 Women’s World Cup from a feminist postcolonial standpoint. This research adds to current feminist scholarship on women and sports by de-centering the global North in its discourse. It reveals the bias of the media through the representation of the United States National Team as a universal “woman” athlete and the standard for international women’s soccer. It further argues that, as a result, the Nigerian National Team was cast in simplistic stereotypes of race, class, ethnicity, and nation, which were often also appropriated and commodified. I emphasize that the Nigerian National Team resisted this construction and fought to secure their position in the global soccer landscape. I conclude that these biased representations, which did not fairly depict or value the contributions of diverse competing teams, were primarily employed to promote and sell the event to a predominantly white middle-class American audience.

Hyundai will be the official car of the WUSA, which will air on TNT and CNN/Sports Illustrated beginning in April 2001 . “As the first official sponsor of WUSA, Hyundai receives unprecedented brand association with a hot, new franchise that already has a large, loyal fan base,” said Cutler. “The broad scope of the sponsorship affords Hyundai maximum exposure nationally and locally, both on­air and off­air.” “Once Hyundai had experienced the excitement of the Women’s World Cup in the United States, we knew that women’s soccer had the potential to become an important part of the American sports scene,” said Hyundai Motor America Director of Marketing Paul Sellers. “We’re proud to be the first sponsor of the Women’s United Soccer Association.” “We’re very excited to have Hyundai on board as our first national sponsor,” said Lee Berke, Acting President of the WUSA. “We're glad that Hyundai will receive great value and exposure from their involvement with the WUSA.
