This is because the neighborhood of Villa Crespo has long been considered a Jewish district, and its soccer team, \u003ci\u003eClub Atl tico Atlanta\u003c\/i\u003e, has served as an avenue of integration into Argentine culture. Through the lens of this neighborhood institution, Raanan Rein offers an absorbing social history of Jews in Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince the Second World War, there has been a conspicuous Jewish presence among the fans, administrators and presidents of the Atlanta soccer club. For the first immigrant generation, belonging to this club was a way of becoming Argentines. For the next generation, it was a way of maintaining ethnic Jewish identity. Now, it is nothing less than family tradition for third generation Jewish Argentines to support \u003ci\u003eAtlanta\u003c\/i\u003e. The soccer club has also constituted one of the few spaces where both Jews and non-Jews, affiliated Jews and non-affiliated Jews, Zionists and non-Zionists, have interacted. The result has been an active shaping of the local culture by Jewish Latin Americans to their own purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOffering a rare window into the rich culture of everyday life in the city of Buenos Aires created by Jewish immigrants and their descendants, \u003ci\u003eF tbol, Jews, and the Making of Argentina\u003c\/i\u003e represents a pioneering study of the intersection between soccer, ethnicity, and identity in Latin America and makes a major contribution to Jewish History, Latin American History, and Sports History.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRanaan Rein is Sourasky Professor of Latin American and Spanish History at Tel Aviv University, Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 09, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486041653426,"sku":"9780804793414","price":37.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/09c935b4422289b6461a99d83a3c43d5_33625b52-2c70-4781-80cc-cd9974d783ce.webp?v=1779300512","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/futbol-jews-and-the-making-of-argentina-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
