South America is a region that enjoys an unusually high profile as
the origin of some of the world's greatest writers and most
celebrated footballers. This is the first book to undertake a
systematic study of the relationship between football and
literature across South America. Beginning with the first football
poem published in 1899, it surveys a range of texts that address
key issues in the region's social and political history. Drawing on
a substantial corpus of short stories, novels and poems, each
chapter considers the shifting relationship between football and
literature in South America across more than a century of writing.
The way in which authors combine football and literature to
challenge the dominant narratives of their time suggests that this
sport can be seen as a recurring theme through which matters of
identity, nationhood, race, gender, violence, politics and
aesthetics are played out. This book is fascinating reading for any
student, scholar or serious fan of football, as well as for all
those interested in the relationship between sports history,
literature and society.
