Drawing from across twenty-five years of interdisciplinary scholarship, Jeffrey W, Kassing’s collection of articles from the Soccer & Society journal States of Play: Soccer and Society Perspectives on the Global Game in America (Routledge) documents the development of soccer along five interrelated trajectories. Jan Andre Lee Ludvigsen has read an interesting, welcome and well-timed text that will be of interest to scholars working on the cultural, historical and social dimensions of soccer. As intended, the collection illuminates both the challenges and potential of soccer in the US by signposting the reader towards the key trajectories in the literature.
