Summary
This book examines how since its arrival in 1867 with British immigrants, football become the key cultural signifier of national identity in Argentina over the long twentieth century. With the international exploits of players such as Luis Monti, Alfredo Di Stefano and Diego Maradona, the sport has projected Argentina onto the global consciousness not seen in any other way. In this book, Mark Orton challenges existing myths surrounding the nativisation of football in Argentina away from British influence, as he shows how the game provided a conduit for the assimilation of millions of European immigrants in the early decades of the century into a new Argentine race. The book also examines how football gave some of the voiceless others such as women, Afro-Argentines, indigenous people and those in the interior an arena to project themselves in an Argentine society that was masculine, white and Buenos Aires-dominated. Mark A. Orton is an independent researcher with a PhD and MA in sports history from the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK. His research interests focus on national identity and sport in Spain and Latin America.
