More Than A Shirt: How Football Shirts Explain Global Politics, Money and Power
Par Joey D'Urso. 2025
'Extensively researched and wonderfully written, Joey's book deserves to be read by all' Martin O'Neill'There's more to every aspect of…
football than meets the eye, and that's brilliantly captured here' Adrian Chiles'Intelligent, thoughtful and brilliant' Chris Mason, BBC News'Colourful... a treat for anyone interested in football and politics' Patrick Maguire, The Times'Original and innovative... a "Parts Unknown" for the game' Miguel Delaney, Independent'Smart, warm and original' Matt Chorley, BBC Radio 5 Live______________________________Twenty-Two Football Shirts that explain the world, geopolitics and the biggest stories of our timeFootball is the world's most popular sport, and the shirts worn by teams and their supporters are its greatest means of cultural expression. Every year clubs launch new kits with increasingly extravagant marketing campaigns and convoluted explanations of how their designs reflect their history and local community. But football shirts are much more than just a symbol of which club we support. A seemingly innocuous combination of colours, sponsor logos and materials can all reflect the social values, financial struggles and political ideologies of the day, as geopolitical issues increasingly seep into every aspect of the game. Investigative journalist Joey D'Urso has travelled across the globe, combining on-the-ground reporting with unparalleled analysis to collate a list of the twenty-two football shirts that best explain the modern world. More Than A Shirt will take fans on a journey from Birmingham to Belgrade and onto Medellin and Mumbai, outlining how we can see the war in Ukraine in the shirt of Schalke in Germany or China's foreign policy in West Bromwich Albion's; how the shirts of state-owned clubs are used for sportswashing; and why the French national kit embodies worldwide migration patterns. A compelling and eye-opening exploration, More Than A Shirt is essential reading for any football fan and will change the way you think about the beautiful game's most universal symbol.

Exploring the implications of a novel theory of educational desire on the prevailing modes of educational research and theory, this…
book contextualises the realm of education studies through the challenging philosophies and theories of Lacan, thereby providing a genuinely alternative approach to the study of education.Structured into three main parts, the book provides a discussion of Lacanian ideas within educational research by setting out a description and analysis of how a theory of desire may work in educational settings and practice. Using vignettes and examples to drive the discussion, chapters explore the pivotal aspects of desire, which could be imaginary, symbolic, or real, elucidated by a mapping of discourses and exploring the reluctance of educational studies to engage with themes related to desire and psychoanalysis. Ultimately, the book argues for the need to disrupt the theoretical and practical logics and models that limit teacher practice, such as accountability, visible learning, competencies, pedagogical knowledge, and professional development, and how these can be better understood from a Lacanian perspective.This book will be of use to scholars, researchers, and academics in the fields of the philosophy of education, the theory of education, and teachers and teacher education more broadly. Those specifically interested in Lacanian psychoanalysis and a Lacanian view on how the concept of desire may influence educational research and practice will also find the book of use.
This book examines the prevalence of racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, and Islamophobia in European football. It provides critical assessments of selected…
policies, strategies, campaigns, and initiatives that have been developed by various stakeholders aimed at combating these discriminatory practices.Bringing together leading football researchers, this book opens with a discussion of the historical context for racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, and Islamophobia in European football and outlines the key terms and core concepts that frame the study of this topic. The book then offers ten in-depth case studies of European countries, including England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, and Sweden. Each chapter describes and analyses the various manifestations of racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, and/or Islamophobia against the specific socio-historical, demographic, political, and cultural contexts of the country before engaging with the responses of selected stakeholders. The case studies are followed by a critical account of supra-national responses, including the involvement of UEFA, the European Union, the Council of Europe, and Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE). The book is rounded off by a cross-cultural, comparative analysis drawing out the key themes that define the problem of racism and discrimination in European football today.The most up-to-date study of one of football’s most disconcerting and enduring issues, this book is fascinating reading for any student, researcher, policymaker, or practitioner with interest in the sociology of sport, football and its fan cultures, issues of inclusion and exclusion in modern societies, European football, and the relationships between sport and wider society.
Climate Litigation and Vulnerabilities: Global South Perspectives (Routledge Studies in Law, Rights and Justice)
Par Maria Antonia Tigre, Melanie Jean Murcott, Susan Ann Samuel. 2025
This volume explores climate litigation as a means to tackle the rights and socio-ecological, intergenerational, gender, racial, and other justice…
implications of the ever-growing vulnerability to climate change, whilst critically engaging with the notions of vulnerability and intersectional climate justice.With insightful analysis, thought-provoking case studies, and a global perspective, the collection illustrates the opportunities and pitfalls of litigation pursued by people from the Global South who face intersecting forms of oppression and marginalisation amidst the climate crisis. Contributors discuss litigation strategy, novel legal arguments, institutional barriers, and unique socio-ecological and political challenges in the Global South. Divided into two parts, the book recognises that climate change is an existential threat to humanity more frequently being tackled in courts worldwide. The first part exposes the limits of litigation as a mechanism for intersectional climate justice for vulnerable people in the Global South. The second part highlights innovations in climate litigation in pursuit of intersectional climate justice.The book will be of interest to academics, researchers, and policymakers in the areas of human rights law, environmental law, climate law, Latin American studies, South Asian studies, and African studies.
Frank Lloyd Wright and the Path to Beauty (Routledge Research in Architecture)
Par Kenneth Dahlin. 2025
This book connects Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic theory with his pursuit of beauty, presenting a path for the recovery of…
beauty in architecture.While there has been a resurgence of interest in beauty in architecture recently, the modern uglification of our built environment means there is no clear pathway to define or find it. In this study, Wright’s organic theory provides such a path to reclaim this beauty. Tracing the evolution of Wright’s concept of organic architecture, author Kenneth Dahlin explores Wright’s “middle way”—a route mediating between traditional historical precedents and today’s novelty-driven architectural culture, often detached from deeper notions of harmony and beauty. Chapters explore Wright’s romanticist roots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the House Beautiful movement, the centrality of Japanese aesthetics, and his concept of the integrated whole. Two chapters on Aristotle and Hegel ground Wright’s pursuit of beauty in philosophical aesthetics, setting the stage for a concluding synthesis that unites the various strands of Wright’s theory into a model theory of organic architecture for the future.This book will be of interest to Frank Lloyd Wright scholars and enthusiasts, as well as postgraduate and advanced undergraduate architecture students.
Bringing Antiracism into Focus: Using Transformative Lenses to Reframe Professional Practice (Applying Child and Adolescent Development in the Professions Series)
Par Alicia Herrera, Kevin Ferreira van Leer, Samantha Blackburn. 2025
This guide introduces applied antiracist developmental science and developmental frameworks that have been comprehensively integrated with antiracist principles. It underscores…
the importance of viewing child and adolescent development‑related work through an antiracist lens from the outset, examining how systemic racism, implicit bias, and critical consciousness shape human development, and emphasizes the need to cultivate an antiracist developmental perspective to promote equity in professional settings.Anchored in the foundational bioecological model, this book extends to additional frameworks such as the Racism + Resilience + Resistance Integrative Study of Childhood Ecosystem (R³ISE), the Integrative Model of Ethnic Minority Development, the Multicontextual Model for Diverse Learning Environments, and the Phenomenological Variant of Ecological Systems Theory (PVEST). These frameworks are adapted to confront racism and support antiracist practices.Targeted discussions in dedicated chapters cover fields including psychology, PK‑12 education, higher education, and allied health. This book bridges theory and practice through case studies, practical examples, and reflective activities, demonstrating how to incorporate antiracist strategies into daily professional practice. It also delves into how community assets can be protective and mitigate the effects of racism, guiding professionals to recognize and leverage these strengths effectively.This resource is designed for students, pre‑professionals, and early‑career professionals in child and adolescent development committed to incorporating antiracist practices into their work. It serves as both an introductory overview and a practical manual for applying developmental principles with an emphasis on reflection and praxis.
