Eugenio Paradiso’s Football, Power, and Politics in Argentina (Routledge) draws on original ethnographic research to consider the role of fans, club officials, politicians, and others in the spread and perpetuation of corruption and violence within football. Torbjörn Andersson appreciates Paradiso’s very readable and suitably long study in which he shows that the organized chaos actually encompasses not only the whole of football but also Argentine politics and society in general.
