A people's history of soccer
From England, France and Germany to Palestine, South Africa and Brazil, Correia reveals how the 'beautiful game' has been a powerful instrument of emancipation for workers, feminists, anti-colonialist activists, young people and protesters around the world. The author's history from below retraces the journeys of professionals, amateurs and enthusiasts alike. Countering the clichés about football fans, he dives into football countercultures born after the Second World War, from English hooligans to the ultras who played a central role in the 'Arab Spring'. And with chapters on anti-fascism, the women's game, and the rise in community-owned clubs, Correia reminds us that football can be a powerful social and political force as generous as it is subversive. --From publisher's description.
