The American Dream is founded upon the ideological belief that 'you
can be anything you want to be', regardless of your current class
position, and is one of the most emotive, pervasive and
ideologically embedded concepts championed by American citizens.
Providing contemporary insight into the American Dream via the
critical lens of soccer - the world's pre-eminent sport but still a
minority interest in the US - this book challenges the notion that
America is different, exceptional or unique in the global order,
either in real socio-economic-political terms or in perceived
cultural terms. Soccer and the American Dream offers an overview of
soccer in the US and uses case studies to explore the motives of
American university students in undertaking a soccer scholarship,
considering the impact of family, social class and career
development upon social mobility and upon the game itself.
Providing a fascinating new insight into the nexus of sport,
education, culture and society, this is a topical resource for
students, scholars and practitioners across the fields of soccer,
higher education, youth sport, sports development, sports coaching
and sport management.
