Description

Explore the complex relationship between sports and national identity with Soccer and the American Dream. Part of the Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society series, this book examines the ideological concept of the American Dream through the lens of soccer. While soccer is the most popular sport globally, it remains a minority interest within the United States, creating a unique cultural tension. This text provides contemporary insight by looking at how soccer challenges the idea that America is unique or exceptional in the global order. It analyzes socio-economic and political realities to see if the belief that anyone can become anything, regardless of class, holds true when viewed through the world's pre-eminent sport. This is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of sports, sociology, and American culture.
