In this region, these two fields enjoy an unusually high profile as the origin of some of the world's greatest writers and most celebrated footballers. This book explores the convergence of South American football and literature since the first football poem was published in 1899, providing coverage that combines period and country with a series of themes. The contextual material in each chapter allows for a detailed analysis of a series of texts that address key issues in the region's social and political history. As such, this book provides new understandings of football, literature, and the way in which polemic topics are discussed and negotiated in a South American context. 410 0$aRoutledge research in sports history. 606 $aSoccer in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zSouth America 606 $aSports literature$zSouth America 606 $aLatin American literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aSoccer in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society 615 0$aSports literature 615 0$aLatin American literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a860.9/3579 676 $a860.93579 700 $aWood$b David$f1965-,$0905115 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164031303321 996 $aFootball and literature in South America$92024378 997 $aUNINA
