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. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Sport and Politics,$x2365-9998 606 $aLatin America$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aSports$xHistory 606 $aLatin American History 606 $aModern History 606 $aSport History 615 0$aLatin America$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aSports$xHistory. 615 14$aLatin American History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aSport History. 676 $a796.334 676 $a796.3340982 700 $aOrton$b Mark$01353909 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910640390303321 996 $aFootball and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Argentina$93284868 997 $aUNINA
