Look beyond the Premiership and the World Cup, the sublime brilliance of Messi and Mbappé, and you'll find a story unparalleled in the world of sport. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e From England, France and Germany to Palestine, South Africa and Brazil, \u003ci\u003eA People's History of Soccer\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mickaël Correia's history from below retraces the journeys of professionals, amateurs and enthusiasts alike. Countering the clichés about soccer fans, he dives into 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 soccer can be a powerful social and political force - as generous as it is subversive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745348766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464","brand":"Micka\u0026#235;l Correia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43096092344501,"sku":"9780745348766","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d8417aa7-9f20-40ec-af24-8782ec136483.jpg?v=1692801952","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-peoples-history-of-soccer-9780745348766","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
