From Frontiers to Football by Matthew Brown
From Frontiers to Football tells the history of Latin Americas engagement with global empires from 1800 to today. The book avoids the polemical invectives of political interpretations, presenting a clear, readable and absorbing introduction to the history of Latin Americas interactions with the world over the last two centuries.
"Everything you wanted to know about Latin America.. Matthew Brown has managed to compact 200 years of history of a vast and diverse region into just over 200 pages. He has condensed recent academic scholarship on history and politics and combined it with what you really want to know about culture, society, and sport, particularly how and why football became so influential. This is a very readable and knowledgeable introduction that will help all readers join the dots and gain a deep understanding of how Latin America came to be how it is and what makes it tick today. A must-read for anyone interested in the region." --Natalia Sobrevilla Perea, University of Kent
