Staff Pick! So says…
If you like your football grassroots, community-owned, politically-radical, antifa, anti-corruption, feminist and generally on the barricades, this Eric Cantona drop-kick of a book is for you. Correia, a social issues journalist in France, loves the beautiful game for itself and twines it into a brilliant thread through a long century of solidarity, protest and collective power. So if the Boxing Day games/transfer market shenanigans are getting you down, let A People’s History speed you into the new year with some exhilarating new chants from Argentina to the Arab Spring.
