Few cultural activities speak more powerfully to international
histories of the modern world than football. In the late nineteenth
century, this cheap and simple sport emerged as a major legacy of
Britain's formal and informal empires and spread quickly across
Europe, South America, and Africa. Today, football (known to many
as soccer) is arguably the world's most popular pastime, an
activity played and watched by millions of people around the globe.
Contested Fields introduces readers to key aspects of the global
game, synthesizing research on football's transnational role in
reflecting and shaping political, socio-economic, and cultural
developments over the past 150 years. Each chapter uses case
studies and cutting-edge scholarship to analyze an important
element of football's international story: migration, money,
competition, gender, race, space, spectatorship, and confrontation.
