Citizens and Sportsmen

More about the book

The book explores the intersection of soccer and politics in Latin America, specifically through the lens of amateur fútbol clubs in Chile. It highlights how the sport shapes identities and civic associations, while also examining its cultural significance and influence on political dynamics in the region. By addressing the lack of academic histories in this area, it provides a unique perspective on the role of fútbol in popular culture and its broader implications for society and nationalism.
