Firmly situating South African teams, players, and associations in
the international framework in which they have to compete, South
Africa and the Global Game: Football, Apartheid, and Beyond
presents an interdisciplinary analysis of how and why South Africa
underwent a remarkable transformation from a pariah in world sport
to the first African host of a World Cup in 2010. Written by an
eminent team of scholars, this special issue and book aims to
examine the importance of football in South African society,
revealing how the black oppression transformed a colonial game into
a force for political, cultural and social liberation. It explores
how the hosting of the 2010 World Cup aims to enhance the prestige
of the post-apartheid nation, to generate economic growth and
stimulate Pan-African pride. Among the themes dealt with are race
and racism, class and gender dynamics, social identities, mass
media and culture, and globalization. This collection of original
and insightful essays will appeal to specialists in African
Studies, Cultural Studies, and Sport Studies, as well as to
non-specialist readers seeking to inform themselves ahead of the
2010 World Cup. This book was published as a special issue of
Soccer and Society.
