Drawing from rich case studies of elite Muslim footballers, this book examines how players navigate racism, Islamophobia, and national belonging while maintaining visible piety and engaging in activism. From fasting on match days to taking public stands on global Muslim issues, these athletes challenge dominant narratives about loyalty, integration, and modernity. Sociologist Kamaludeen Nasir brings a unique perspective as both a football fan and a scholar, offering insights into the lived realities of Muslim players in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. He unpacks how club ownership, digital performance, gender politics, and faith-based practices shape the contemporary sporting landscape. By shifting the analytical gaze from fans to players, \u003cem\u003eDribbling Divides \u003c\/em\u003einvites readers to see football not just as entertainment, but as a site of negotiation, resistance, and reimagined identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kamaludeen Nasir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197799744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197799741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Kamaludeen Nasir","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48588394627327,"sku":"9780197799741","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dribbling-divides-kamaludeen-nasir-9780197799741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
