John M Sloop All Books: Soccer's Pitch sku-1011880043

John M Sloop's Soccer's Neoliberal Pitch: The Sport’s Power, Profit, and Discursive Politics is a hardcover in the All Books category (sku-1011880043). Drawing on Laurent Dubois and others, Sloop examines how American soccer's position outside the dominant spectator sports opens ways to discuss national identity while also limiting them. He considers gender, race, sexuality and class through topics including the US women's national team's equal pay dispute, hooligan literature, English soccer on American television, the Mexican league's high TV ratings and relative invisibility, and portrayals of US national teams as underdogs. The book connects these examples to neoliberal power, profit, politics and selfhood and is intended for readers in sports, cultural, communication and gender studies.You may also like Thomas J Marrie All Books: Q Fever Volume I sku-10198808.
