{"product_id":"africa-football-and-fifa-paul-darby-9780714680293","title":"Africa, Football and FIFA: Politics, Colonialism and Resistance","description":"This book explores the role of FIFA in brokering the development of football in Africa and its relationship with that continent's football associations and regional governing body. Africa is no longer on the periphery of world football but the economic disparities between the first and the third worlds hinder the development of the game. The author shows convincingly how Africa's advance within world football is tied to its national political economy and how the balance of power within FIFA still clearly favours its European members.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Darby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 071468029X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714680293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.54d","brand":"Paul Darby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482444488959,"sku":"9780714680293","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bcd20d6-c243-4091-bd59-ffa400184692.jpg?v=1715998552","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/africa-football-and-fifa-paul-darby-9780714680293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
