Description
Football has been a powerful instrument of change, shaping the course of history and inspiring social movements around the world. A People's History of Football reveals how the 'beautiful game' has been a driving force behind anti-colonialist activism, feminist movements, and worker's rights, from England to Palestine, South Africa, and Brazil. From the countercultures of English hooligans to the ultras who played a key role in the 'Arab Spring', this book explores the complex and often subversive role of football in shaping social and political change. With chapters on anti-fascism, the women's game, and the rise of community-owned clubs, A People's History of Football offers a fresh perspective on the game that goes beyond the headlines.
