Summary:
As the 2014
World
Cup
and the 2016 Olympic Games approach, ordinary Brazilians are holding the country'
s
biggest protest marches in decades. Sports journalist Dave Zirin traveled to
Brazil
to find out why. In a rollicking read that travels from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to the fabled Maracanã Stadium to Zirin examines how athletic mega-events turn into neoliberal Trojan horses.
