%X This article aims to provide a critical review of the literature on sports studies in three major subject areas that are of great interest in today¡¯s world. These are identities, social integration, and diasporas and transnationalism. A selective analysis of these literatures provides the necessary analytical background concerning the theoretical and methodological approaches to social role of sports. Building on this background, the paper puts forth a theoretical and methodological proposal on how to frame future studies on sociology of sports which is informed by the existing literature on sports as well as French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu¡¯s theoretical work. It argues that some of the analytical and theoretical tools that are central to Bourdieu¡¯s analysis, namely ¡®the field¡¯ and ¡®capital¡¯, would constitute very powerful tools as well as open up a potentially very enriching theoretical perspective
