Biographical note
William D. Bowman is the Johnson Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Humanities and professor of history at Gettysburg College. His books include Imperialism in the Modern World and Priest and Parish in Vienna, 1780 to 1880. At Gettysburg College, he teaches courses on world, sports, and European history.
The World Cup as World History uses football’s premier event to analyze modern sports and world history. William D. Bowman traces the history of a tournament that has become a global phenomenon that generates intense political, economic, and cultural interest and profound discussions about racial, ethnic, and gender identity in the contemporary era. By focusing on the World Cup, the book keeps a tight thematic focus that allows for an integrated discussion of the core issues of globalization, money and finance, sport as spectacle, race and gender, and contemporary politics.
