| Sumario: | The chapters in the Women's Football in Latin America two volumes will look at the social and historical means of the embodied representation of gender differences that has been deeply embedded in the history of Latin American women and football. The authors identify and analyse how, in a range of ways, Latin American women have found in-between spaces, amid severe macho structures, to establish and play their football. As a result, the book will be of interest to researchers and students of sport sociology, football studies, gender studies, comparative sports studies, sports history, and Latin American sporting culture. The first volume of this edited collection brings together a variety of high-quality research investigating women's football in Brazil to an international, English readership. The complex issues surrounding women and sport have attracted the attention of Brazilian academics since the early 1980s, and this book seeks to update that scholarship to the modern day, with chapters on sports media, 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, grassroots women's football, women's football fans. The book also indicates the forthcoming research and political challenges for gender equity in Brazilian football. Jorge Knijnik is an Associate Professor at Western Sydney University, Australia, where he is a lecturer in the School of Education and a researcher in the Institute for Culture & Society. Ana Costa is a journalist and researcher with a Master of Marts in Sports for Development (German Sport University), Germany. In addition, she is active in the digital media market as a content producer and strategist since 2001 having been part of the Brazilian Olympic Committee social media team. |
