Summary:

"The book, based on fieldwork with fans, players, journalists, and coaches, examines the politics of football as a space for ordinary Egyptians and state forces to negotiate a masculine Egyptian chauvinism in the early twenty-first century; it further investigates fans' roles as a revolutionary force involved in antiregime activism"-- Provided by publisher.
