This volume provides an analysis of the history, origins, and
development of football in Africa. It brings together an edited
assemblage of essays that describe and analyse football in nine
African countries, including Cameroon, DRC, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya,
Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, and Uganda, from a social science
perspective. The selection of these countries highlights the three
major foreign languages and powers that have governed the
continent; The English, the French, and Arabic, and provides a
prism through which to analyze and compare how football developed
in the various countries throughout Africa. This comparative
methodology allow readers to identify similarities and differences
in the progression of the game on the continent, and by focusing on
football, an important relic of European colonialism in Africa,
underscores the continued dependence on, and domination of
Europeans on the Africans. In situating the genesis of the game,
contributors examine and analyze the history, development,
management, and mismanagement by bureaucrats at the political level
as well as at various football federations throughout the
continent.
