The 2010 South African World Cup launched African football onto the
global stage and its footballers are increasingly present at the
best clubs in the world, yet it is rare to find compelling
scholarship on the subject of African football. This book brings
some of the top scholars on African football together to produce a
collection that covers the diverse regions of the continent and
diverse football topics. Focussing on aspects of identity, it spans
issues of race, radicalization and self-identification, exploring
the imagined continuation of war in support of a Nigerian club, the
use of songs in support of a club and an ethnic community, and the
effects of transnational broadcasting on supporter identification
with football in Africa. This collection provides a valuable
contribution to debates about African sport and identity and also
contains an interview with one of Africa's first migrant
footballers, Paul Bonga Bonga.
