Soccer vs. the state : tackling football and radical politics / Gabriel Kuhn. by Kuhn, Gabriel. Between the Lines, 2018. Call #: 796.334 K961s Subjects Soccer -- Political aspects.   Sports and state.   Nationalism and sports. ISBN:  9781771133807 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Soccer versus the state : tackling football and radical politics Edition:  2nd ed. Description:  296 p. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Soccer has turned into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Professionalism and commercialization dominate its global image. Yet the game retains a rebellious side, maybe more so than any other sport co-opted by money makers and corrupt politicians. From its roots in working-class England to political protests by players and fans, and a current radical soccer underground, the notion of football as the "people's game" is alive and well. This book not only traces this history, but also reflects on common criticisms: soccer ferments nationalism, serves right-wing powers, and fosters competitiveness. Acknowledging these concerns, Gabriel Kuhn offers alternative perspectives on the game including practical examples of egalitarian DIY soccer! This second edition has been expanded to cover events of recent years, including the involvement of soccer fans in the Middle Eastern uprisings of 2011-2013, the FIFA scandal of 2015, and the 2017 strike by the Danish women's team."--From publisher.
