Om denne bog

Explosive and groundbreaking study of racism in football and its roots from award-winning journalist Ronny Blaschke.

Racism in football is reduced to neo-Nazis and monkey chants. But if we want to understand its origins, we have to go back further. Drawing on more than 100 interviews from five different continents, this hard-hitting investigation reveals how:

  • Colonial powers such as Britain and France wanted to ‘civilize’ their subjects through sport
  • Their racial theory has long since been debunked, yet racist thinking still characterizes European football today
  • Black people are often considered powerful athletes, but rarely get the opportunity to become coaches or board members
  • Colonial thinking still persists in talent scouting, sponsorship and the media
  • Racism is blighting football in Britain, Brazil, Namibia and India among other places

At the center of this book are people – players, fans and activists – who stand up to racism with courage and grit. In England, black referees are networking to have a stronger voice. In Brazil, reporters are producing a podcast for Afro-Brazilian issues in sport. Above all, the question is: how can racism in football be pushed back?
