William Tantam conducts an ethnographic exploration to investigate the profound influence of football on the lives of men in contemporary Jamaica. Through his meticulous research, he sheds light on the intricate connections between football, social and economic disparities, and the potential for leveling the playing field between individuals from different economic backgrounds. Tantam delves into the personal stories and football biographies of individuals, unraveling the intricate relationships between wealth, education, and class. He also examines how socioeconomic inequalities are embodied and enacted in the world of football. The book offers a rich tapestry of ethnographic detail, providing a comprehensive analysis of how the experience of watching international football matches and the English Premier League shapes the positioning of spectators within broader movements of capital. By examining the lives of individuals who actively participate in football in Jamaica, the book offers a unique perspective that has been under-examined in academic discussions of sport and masculinity. This insightful work will appeal to students of anthropology, sociology, football studies, cultural studies, and gender studies, adding valuable insights to their academic pursuits.
