Sports, Colonialism, and US Imperialism
SPORT, COLONIALISM, AND UNITED STATES IMPERIALISM FORUM Sport, Colonialism, and United States Imperialism GERALD R. GEMS Department of Health and Physical Education North Central College BY 1914 EUROPEAN POWERS, LED BY GREAT BRITAIN, France, and Germany, con- trolled 85 percent of the earth’s land surface. By that time the United States, itself a former colony, had become a major player in the imperial process. Over the past century a num- ber of American historians have glorified such expansionism as a heroic struggle, a roman- tic adventure, a benevolent mission, and a Darwinian right or inevitability. In doing so, they constructed (some might say invented) national identities.1 Only more recently, since the 1960s, have scholars questioned imperialism and its practices. Post-colonial scholars, such as C.L.R. James, and revisionist historians have used a more critical lens, sometimes from the perspective of the conquered and colonized. James’s influential Beyond a Boundary (1964) assumed a Marxist paradigm in its investiga- tion of the role of cricket in the process of subjugation. Most other analyses have taken similar theoretical perspectives. Over the past dozen years, British historians, led by J.A. Mangan, have conducted a thorough examination of the role of sports and education in cultural imposition. American and European scholars, however, have not kept pace. Allen Guttmann’s Games and Empires (1994) remains the only comprehensive American study, while Joel Franks has published two recent inquiries into cross-cultural sporting experi- ences in Hawai‘i and the Pacific. Joseph Reaves’s Taking in a Game: A History of Baseball in Asia (2002) is a welcome addition to this short list. -

B O O K Pan-Asian sports and the emergence of modern Asia, 1913-1974 Edited by Stefan Huebner Singapore: NUS Press, 2016, 416 pages ISBN: 978-981-47-2203-2 Pan-Asianism was largely constructed as an ideal of Asian solidarity, regional cooperation, and integration (Saaler and Szpilman 2011). In this regard, historians Rana Mitter and Akira Iriye suggest that an “Asian” identity could somehow mediate between emergent nationalisms and provide a convincing counterargument to the challenge of Western dominance (Mitter and Iriye 2007, ix). For Stefan Huebner, a historian of colonialism, modernization and development policy, the desirable goal for such identity is for “Asia” to be “One”, and he frames his arguments within the contexts and nature of the Asiad (The Asian Games). In his fascinating book, Huebner traces the origins of “Sportive Pan-Asian Aspirations” to the establishment of the Far Eastern Championship Games 78 (FECG 1913–1934), which evolved into the Western Asiatic Games (WAG 1934), after the sporting event turned into sites that mirrored anti-colonial nationalisms because of “mutually exclusive visions of Asia,” particularly concerning the status of Manchukuo and its right to join the FECG. The FECG was an American construct, says Huebner. Former Manila Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) Physical Director Elwood Brown founded the Games to globalize “muscular Christianity” based on amateur sports ideals and their “civilizing” effects (Huebner 2016, 52). Asian themes and motifs were somewhat muted during these Games. During the early years, Asians hardly controlled the management and execution of the FECG. Participating countries embraced the idea of assimilating Asia through sporting events organized by Americans connected with the YMCA. -

DRAFT: NO PERMISSION TO QUOTE Conference: “Newspapers and Transculturality: New Approaches to Working with Historical Newspapers” (Heidelberg) The Far Eastern Championship Games (1913-1934) in Newspapers: The Transnational Communication of ‘Modernization’ through Sport Stefan Hübner, M.A. Research Associate / Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter Bundeswehr University Munich Historical Institute Werner-Heisenberg-Weg 39 85579 Munich-Neubiberg (Germany) [email protected] DRAFT: NO PERMISSION TO QUOTE 1 In my PhD-thesis – ‘Building Asian Nations through Sports Events (1913-1974). The Far Eastern Championship Games, the Western Asiatic Games and the Early Asian Games’ – I used, based on the example of three regional sports events, new methodological approaches such as global history and the ‘multiple modernities’ to analyze entangled transfers of norms and values between Asia and the ‘West’. The spreading of ‘modern’ mega events such as world expositions and sports events since the late nineteenth century is a global phenomenon, which was initially caused by the rise of the ‘West’ and was characterized by power asymmetries due to colonialism, racism, and ‘Orientalism’. I was interested in gaining new insights into ‘Western’ and Asian perspectives on ‘modernization’, ‘civilization’, and feelings of regional and national ‘belonging’, as well as on the public orchestration of shifting power relations within Asia and between Asia and the ‘West’. In this presentation, however, I limit myself to an overview of the media coverage of the Far Eastern Championship Games (FECG; 1913-1934). I primarily deal with cartoons and photos depicted in newspapers published in East Asian countries, particularly in the Philippines. American newspapers and news magazines also covered the Games, but very often created a much more ‘Orientalist’ image of East Asians being in need of ‘Western’ tutelage. -

William G. Morgan Father of Volleyball Born in 1870
William G. Morgan Father of Volleyball Born in 1870 at Lockport, New York, William G. Morgan spent his childhood years attending public school and working at his father’s boat yard on the banks of the Old Erie Canal. In 1891 Morgan entered Mt. Hermon Preparatory School in Northfield, Massachusetts, and it was there he developed a friendship with James A. Naismith, who was destined to be the originator of basketball. Naismith was impressed with young Morgan’s athletic skills and encouraged Morgan to continue his education at the International Young Men’s Christian Association Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts (now called Springfield College). While at Springfield, Morgan participated on the college’s famous football team which played championship ball under the leadership of Alonzo A. Stagg, one of the “Grand Old Men of Football”. In 1894, after graduation, Morgan accepted the position of physical director of the Auburn, Maine YMCA. The following year he accepted a similar post in Holyoke, Mass., and it was here the story of Volleyball began. At the Holyoke YMCA (now the Greater Holyoke YMCA), Morgan had the opportunity to establish, develop and direct a vast program of exercises and sport classes for male adults. His leadership was enthusiastically accepted and his classes grew in numbers. He came to realize he needed a certain type of competitive recreational game in order to vary his program. Basketball suited young people but seemed to be too fast paced for many participants. At that time, Morgan knew of no similar game to volleyball that could guide him. He developed a new game from his own sports training methods and his practical experience in the YMCA gymnasium.
