Publisher's Synopsis
"Where does so much passion come from? The reasons behind the popularisation of football in Brazil - A study of Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the 20th century" is an analysis of the development of this sport in Brazil, seen from the perspective of what happened in the then Federal Capital at the beginning of the 20th century. An object of dispute between the agents present there, football, from its first kicks, proved to be more accessible to those who wanted to play it. However, this did not mean that it was available to everyone in the same way. Around this process, this book seeks to contribute to an analysis of the origins of this national passion that is football.
