About This Item

(New York: Bloomsbury, 2013) 9781608197187. 210 x 140 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. (x) + 258 + (iv). Crease to bottom fore-corner of upper cover; a little foxing. Very good condition. "Nothing exemplifies the spirit and hope of Juarenses more than the Indios, the city's beloved, hard-luck soccer team, who have clawed their way into Mexico's top league after decades of cellar-dwelling. Sport may seem a meager distraction from horrific violence, but to many-from Juárez's mayor to a group of rowdy, irrepressible fans who call themselves El Kartel-it's a lifeline. In this honest, unflinching, and powerful book, acclaimed author Robert Andrew Powell (We Own This Game) chronicles a season of soccer in this treacherous city just across the Rio Grande, a story that transcends sports to document the power of love and community in a place where chaos reigns." .
