A Socio-Historical Look at the Africa Cup of Nations
Posted by bpalmer on Jan.05, 2010, under The Game
There is a top notch blog, “Pitch Invasion” that bores into topics better than the usual soccer blogs (including TF1/3). Writer Andrew Guest, Ph.D is a professor of social and behavioral sciences at the University of Portland. He has spent time in Malawi and Angola, so he has a unique perspective on both the Africa Cup of Nations and the upcoming World Cup. He is fascinated how Africa’s colonial legacies shape the contemporary African game. The French, British, and Portuguese colonial domination of Africa is reflected in the development of each country’s football (soccer) cultures.
This is a great read… check it out.
