Bookshelf: How Soccer Explains the World (Chapter 2)

 

 

 




 


How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization (Franklin Foer)

Chapter 2: How Soccer Explains the Pornography of Sects

The second chapter of Foer's 10-chapter foray around the globe is about the rivalry between Celtic F.C. and Rangers F.C.

Specifically, Foer examines the tension between the tribalism and sectarianism that's at the root of this Glasgow-based rivalry with the hypothetical flattening of cultures and rounded edges of cultural conflicts brought about by globalization in the late twentieth century.
