HIST 187 PZ - The History and Politics of World Soccer

This course surveys the history and politics of world soccer. We will see how culture, politics and history play themselves out upon the stage of stadium and field, from fascist Italy to visionary Uruguay to indomitable Cameroon. We will see how the World Cup has become a catalyst for political and cultural debate, and how it has made, and destroyed, political regimes. And we will try to understand the game as others, in different times and places, have seen it: a game freighted with meaning and beauty
