This role was expressed in the activities of understudied organizations like the English Football Association and the British Council, as well as oil companies like Shell and British Petroleum; through the recruitment of coaches such as Jimmy Hill and Michael Laing; the staging of tours involving teams such as Chelsea, Coventry City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal in the 1960s; the formation of clubs, leagues and the construction of sporting facilities. Relatedly, it examines the role of the local middle classes in facilitating the commercialization of the game through professionalization and the operations of betting pools. The volume will help to give readers a better understanding of how the game served as a "double agent" of British hegemony and segregation, as well as integration and socio-political change in colonial and post-colonial society. The book will be of value to sport scholars, students, footballers and fans of the game who have an interest in its history across the world"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Soccer |zTrinidad and Tobago. 651 0 Great Britain |xColonies |xSocial life and customs. 651 0 Trinidad and Tobago |xColonial influence. 650 0 Sports and state |zTrinidad and Tobago. 650 0 Nationalism and sports |zTrinidad and Tobago. 650 0 Politics and culture |zTrinidad and Tobago. 650 0 Social classes |zTrinidad and Tobago. 650 0 Social conflict |zTrinidad and Tobago |xHistory. 651 0 Trinidad and Tobago |xSocial life and customs. 651 6 Grande-Bretagne |xColonies |xMœurs et coutumes. 651 6 Trinité-et-Tobago |xInfluence coloniale. 650 6 Sports |xPolitique gouvernementale |zTrinité-et-Tobago. 650 6 Nationalisme et sports |zTrinité-et-Tobago. 650 6 Politique et culture |zTrinité-et-Tobago. 650 6 Classes sociales |zTrinité-et-Tobago. 651 6 Trinité-et-Tobago |xMœurs et coutumes. 776 08 |iOnline version:Mc Cree, Roy. |tBritish, soccer and identity in the Caribbean |bFirst edition. |dNew York : Routledge, 2024 |z9781003285557 |w(DLC) 2024021334 902 960717530 |wcopy |120241001154408.0 910 |cD0101mon |d3110-10 |gYBP 914 (OCoLC)on1423040325 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20241009 |eprocessed |f1423040325 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fSAK |m311010 |nCloth 980 20812542 |i170.00 982 |cf 984 20240726 |b125135 |cYBP-US
