Résumé
"Step aside Tom Friedman, Sam Huntington, and Amy Chua. Franklin Foer's dark and witty tale of the soccer world reveals the meaning of globalization in all its joys and horrors."-Robert KaganJust in time for the 2026 World Cup in North America-a reissue of the bestselling sports classic, featuring a new preface from the author. With the 2026 World Cup in all three nations of North America, the power and scope of soccer has truly become global.
In this remarkably insightful, wide-ranging work, Franklin Foer argues that soccer is much more than a game, or even a way of life. It is a unique window into the crosscurrents of modern globalization, with all of its benefits and pitfalls. Soccer clubs don't represent geographic areas; they stand for social classes and political ideologies. Unlike baseball or tennis, soccer is freighted with ancient hatreds and history.
It's a sport with real stakes-a catalyst capable of ruining regimes and launching liberation movements. Foer takes us on a surprising tour through the world of soccer, shattering myths and dire predictions. Instead of destroying local cultures, as the left warned, globalization has revived tribalism. Far from the triumph of capitalism that the right anticipated, it has entrenched corruption. From Brazil to Bosnia, Italy to Iraq, How Soccer Explains the World is an eye-opening chronicle of how a beautiful sport and its fanatical followers can illuminate the fault lines of a society, whether it's terrorism, poverty, anti-Semitism, authoritarianism, or radical Islam-issues that continue to affect all of us.
At a time when globalization is under attack and many Americans yearn for retrenchment and retreat from the world, this remarkable book-filled with blazing intelligence, colorful characters, wry humor, and an equal passion for soccer and humanity-continues to make sense of our troubled times.
