Why Soccer Matters in a Changing World

Kirk Bowman | Felipe Arocena | Alberto Fuentes

Social Science / Sociology / Social Theory

This book uses compelling cases from the global and ever-expanding world of soccer as a lens for understanding broader social, political, and economic questions, theories, and phenomena. The stories explore the sport's impact on society as a change-agent in critical issues of race, gender, the environment, peace, human rights, and soft power.
