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.
