A People's History of Football. A Graphic Chronicle - Mickael Correia - książka

Football transcends the opulent transactions of billionaire investors and hefty signing fees. With a surge in the popularity of women's football, it becomes evident that the narrative often remains only partially told. Consider the absence of the Lionesses without the foundational role of the Munitionettes. Delve beyond FIFA's bureaucrats and the commercialized World Cup, and an extraordinary history of the sport emerges. Across nations such as England, France, Germany, Palestine, South Africa, and Brazil, "A People's History of Football" explores how the sport has served as a remarkable agent of liberation for workers, feminists, anti-colonialists, youth, and activists globally. This captivating history is artfully illustrated by award-winning artist Lelio Bonaccorso, who vivifies historical players with vibrant illustrations. From its chaotic medieval beginnings to modern times, this narrative invites you to explore stories of both professional and amateur players, showcasing football's unique ability to be both a force of generosity and rebellion.
