Description

Explore the deep connections between empire and sport in Soccer Empire. This book by Laurent Dubois traces the history of the World Cup, starting from its French origins in the 1930s and traveling through Africa and the Caribbean before returning to France. Through the stories of legendary players, the narrative examines how soccer reflects national identity and social change. It captures the moment when France hosted and won the 1998 World Cup, featuring Zinedine Zidane, the son of Algerian immigrants, whose image was projected onto the Arc de Triomphe. The book also looks at the dramatic 2006 World Cup finals and the impact of Zidane's career on the country. This work provides a look at how soccer serves as a lens to understand global history and the movement of people and culture across borders. It is an essential read for those interested in French history, the evolution of global sports, and the social impact of the World Cup.
