{"product_id":"football-and-colonialism-nuno-domingos-9780821422625","title":"Football and Colonialism: Body and Popular Culture in Urban Mozambique","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn articles for the newspaper \u003ci\u003eO Brado Africano\u003c\/i\u003e in the mid-1950s, poet and journalist José Craveirinha described the ways in which the Mozambican football players in the suburbs of Lourenço Marques (now Maputo) adapted the European sport to their own expressive ends. Through gesture, footwork, and patois, they used what Craveirinha termed \"malice\"-or cunning-to negotiate their places in the colonial state. \"These manifestations demand a vast study,\" Craveirinha wrote, \"which would lead to a greater knowledge of the black man, of his problems, of his clashes with European civilization, in short, to a thorough treatise of useful and instructive ethnography.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFootball and Colonialism, \u003c\/i\u003e Nuno Domingos accomplishes that study. Ambitious and meticulously researched, the work draws upon an array of primary sources, including newspapers, national archives, poetry and songs, and interviews with former footballers. Domingos shows how local performances and popular culture practices became sites of an embodied history of Mozambique. The work will break new ground for scholars of African history and politics, urban studies, popular culture, and gendered forms of domination and resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nuno Domingos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821422626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821422625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Nuno Domingos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947346428159,"sku":"9780821422625","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f182ace6-feaa-4743-8f7e-e23f709bf892.jpg?v=1681518179","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/football-and-colonialism-nuno-domingos-9780821422625","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
