The Invention of the Beautiful Game: Football and the Making of Modern Brazil
Gregg Bocketti
In this cross-cutting cultural history, Gregg Bocketti traces the origins of soccer in Brazil from its elitist, Eurocentric identity as “football” at the end of the nineteenth century to its subsequent mythologization as the specifically Brazilian “futebol”, o jogo bonito (the beautiful game).
