Summary:	"In this cross-cutting cultural history, Gregg Bocketti traces the origins of soccer in Brazil from its elitist, Eurocentric identity as 'foot-ball' at the end of the nineteenth century to its subsequent mythologization as the specifically Brazilian 'futebol, ' o jogo bonito (the beautiful game), in the twentieth century and beyond"--Provided by publisher.
