Futbolera : a history of women and sports in Latin America / by Elsey, Brenda,author.(CARDINAL)801867; Nadel, Joshua H.,author.(CARDINAL)788698;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 326-347) and index.For the sake of the nation : physical education and women's sport in Argentina and Chile, 1902/1971 -- Policing gender : women's football in Brazil, 1910s/1940 -- Defying prohibition : Brazilian women's sport, 1940s/1980s -- Shaping girls into mothers : physical education and sport in Mexico and Central America -- The boom and bust of Mexican women's football, 1970/1972 -- Epilogue.Latin American athletes have achieved iconic status in global popular culture, but what do we know about the communities of women in sport? Futbolera is the first monograph on women's sports in Latin America. Because sports evoke such passion, they are fertile ground for understanding the formation of social classes, national and racial identities, sexuality, and gender roles. Futbolera tells the stories of women athletes and fans as they navigated the pressures and possibilities within organized sports. Futbolera charts the rise of physical education programs for girls, often driven by ideas of eugenics and proper motherhood, that laid the groundwork for women's sports clubs, which began to thrive beyond the confines of school systems. Futbolera examines how women challenged both their exclusion from national pastimes and their lack of access to leisure, bodily integrity, and public space. This vibrant history also examines women's sports through comparative case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and others. Special attention is given to women's sports during military dictatorships of the 1970s and 1980s as well as the feminist and democratic movements that followed. The book culminates by exploring recent shifts in mindset toward women's football and dynamic social movements of players across Latin America.

To drink from the well : the struggle for racial equality at the nation's oldest public university / by Kapur, Geeta N.,1977-author.(CARDINAL)855670; Barber, William J.,II,1963-writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)408829;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 379-429).Foreword / by Rev. Dr. William Barber II -- New Hope Chapel Hill -- The Black Wall Street of America -- The Great Depression controversies -- Hot as blazes -- The University's daughter -- North Carolina's way out -- White people wake up -- Going up to Mount Sinai -- The Buzzard's roost -- Tired of trying to save the White man's soul -- Let freedom ring -- Turmoil, unrest, and struggle -- Epilogue."The University of North Carolina is the oldest public university in the US, with the cornerstone for the first dormitory, Old East, laid in 1793. At that ceremony, the enslaved people who would literally build that structure were not acknowledged; they were not even present. In fact, 158 years passed before Black students were admitted to this university in Chapel Hill, and it was another 66 years after that before students forcibly removed the long-criticized Confederate "Silent Sam" monument. Indeed, this university, revered in the state and the nation, has been entwined with white supremacy and institutional racism throughout its history-and the struggle continues today. To Drink from the Well: The Struggle for Racial Equality at the Nation's Oldest Public University explores the history of UNC by exposing the plain and uncomfortable truth behind the storied brick walkways, "historic" statuary, and picturesque covered well, the icon of the campus. Law professor and civil rights activist Geeta N. Kapur chronicles the racism within the university and traces its insidious effects on students, faculty, and even the venerable Tarheel sports programs. Kapur tells this story not as a historian, but as a citizen speaking to her fellow citizens. She relies on the historical record to tell her story, and where that record is lacking, she elaborates on that record, augmenting and deconstructing the standard chronology. Kapur explores both the Chapel Hill campus and a parallel movement in nearby Durham, where a growing Black middle class helped to create North Carolina Central University, a historically Black public university"--
