From England, France and Germany to Palestine, South Africa and Brazil, soccer has been a powerful instrument of emancipation for workers, feminists, anti-colonialist activists, young people and protesters around the world. From the game's unruly feudal origins right up to the present day, this illustrated edition of the rebellious, grassroots history of soccer brings players to life in vivid color in the stories of professionals and amateurs alike. Summarized from publisher marketing.
