Description

Cockfighting has had an extended history in america. Now outlawed in all 50 states, the violent sport serves as a springboard to speak about controversial leisure activities. The writer’s fieldwork, starting before the ban of cockfighting and conducted basically in South Louisiana, supplies the foundation for discussions of problems with society, sport, chance, spectatorship, culture, entertainment, recreation reform, gambling, and other “purple leisure” activities.
