Sports and Nationalism in Latin / o America cover

This collection interrogates sports in Latin America as a key terrain in which nation is defined and populations are interpellated through emotionally charged practices (state policy, media representations, and sports play itself by professionals, national teams and amateurs) of inclusion and exclusion.

“This offering in the ‘New Directions in Latino American Cultures’ series opens with an extensive introduction that includes information about the first appearances in Latin America of soccer (from England) and baseball (from the US), a history and survey of cultural sport studies and their development in Latin America, and generalizations about sports and nationalism. … The book is well documented throughout. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty.” (R. V. McGehee, Choice, Vol. 53 (5), January, 2016)
