| Summary/Abstract |
Scholarship on race and gender in boxing have examined how meanings of masculinity are produced vis-à-vis a boxer’s identity. This study offers an ethnographic exploration of boxing spectator relations, especially how male fans of colour negotiate racialised masculinities outside of the ring. The subsequent analysis yields important insights into how race intersects with masculinity, class, sexuality, and nation. Drawing upon ethnographic research conducted during a Manny ‘Pac-Man’ Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez boxing match, interviews, and critical discourse analysis (CDA), this article examines how performances of racialised masculinity permeate the fan space. In this space, African American, Latino, and Filipino American men negotiate meanings of masculinity that reproduce unequal power relations. Here, in the presence of other men of colour, differences among them are accentuated through the politics of gender relations that inevitably produce conflicts among marginalised communities and reveal competing versions of masculinity that inevitably rely upon heteronormative underpinnings.

| Summary/Abstract |
During the First World War, American War Department officials and their welfare affiliates (including the YMCA, Knights of Columbus, and American Library Association) provided servicemen with an unprecedented scale and scope of leisure activities by embracing new distribution and management approaches. Historians examining troops' leisure have focused on bureaucrats’ coercive actions restricting access to vice districts, but progressive authorities also hired staffers who could identify individual soldiers' preferences and construct complex distribution networks on both sides of the Atlantic. By examining the military’s role in blurring public–private boundaries in welfare work, administrators’ postwar careers, and veterans’ expectations, this article illustrates wartime recreation programs’ impact on the development of mass culture.
