Sumario: | "Lyrical, ironic, and sympathetic, Mário Filho's chronicle of 'the beautiful game' is a classic of Brazilian sports writing. Filho (1908-1966) was a prize-winning Brazilian journalist--Rio's Maracanã stadium is officially named after him-- [who] reported on Brazilian soccer as a boundary-busting story of race relations, democracy, popular culture, and national identity. Now in English for the first time, the book highlights national debates about the inclusion of African-descended people in the body politic and situates early black soccer stars as key creators of Brazilian culture"-- ǂc Provided by publisher. |
