This book provides an historical overview of the formation of
sports media in Latin America and its role in the construction of
the political history of Latin American sport. The sports
press was a privileged observer of the development of modern
sports, but it was also a key factor in the making of
professional sports in Latin America. Most of the literature
on sport in Latin America treats the sports press as an historical
source, rarely taking it as an object of study in itself. However,
the development of sports in the region is connected to national
and state-building processes and the role of media narratives is
crucial to understanding how sports participate in those
processes. Spanning the globalization of football in the late
nineteenth century to the shift promoted by television in the
1970s, the chapters survey the historical development of
sports media in Latin America. Representing ten countries, the
contributors follow a framework that presents the press not as a
passive narrator of the sports phenomenon, but as a social agent of
the sports field. This book is of use to those interested in
the history of sports and the media, and it will be a good resource
for undergraduates taking courses on Sports History, Latin American
History, Sports Management, and Journalism and
Communication.  Â
