With the international exploits of players such as Luis Monti, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Diego Maradona, the sport has projected Argentina onto the global consciousness not seen in any other way. In this book, Mark Orton challenges existing myths surrounding the nativisation of football in Argentina away from British influence, as he shows how the game provided a conduit for the assimilation of millions of European immigrants in the early decades of the century into a new Argentine ‘race’. The book also examines how football gave some of the ‘voiceless others’ such as women, Afro-Argentines, indigenous people and those in the interior an arena to project themselves in an Argentine society that was masculine, white and Buenos Aires-dominated. Mark A. Orton is an independent researcher witha PhD and MA in sports history from the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK. His research interests focus on national identity and sport in Spain and Latin America.Palgrave Studies in Sport and Politics,2365-9998Latin AmericaHistoryHistory, ModernSportsHistoryLatin American HistoryModern HistorySport HistoryLatin AmericaHistory.History, Modern.SportsHistory.Latin American History.Modern History.Sport History.796.334796.3340982Orton Mark1353909MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910640390303321Football and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Argentina3284868UNINA
