Book excerpt: Horseback wrestling, catch-as-catch-can, glima; long before the advent of today's WWE, forms of wrestling were practiced by virtually every cultural group. C. Nathan Hatton's Thrashing Seasons: Sporting Culture in Manitoba and the Genesis of Prairie Wrestling tells the story of wrestling in Manitoba from the pre-Confederation period to the Great Depression. Hatton explores wrestling as a social phenomenon, intimately bound up with debates around respectability, ethnicity, race, class, and idealized conceptions of masculinity.
