"The great impact that this book will have is not only to look at colonialism through soccer and the experiences of African players in various Portuguese colonial contexts, but--more significantly--to refocus discussions of colonialism and cultural practices on the local and colonized." -- Roger Kittleson, author of  The Country of Football: Soccer and the Making of Modern Brazil, "[ Following the Ball and Football and Colonialism ] convincingly demonstrate that the histories of Mozambican football and of African migrants in Portugal have value and deserve to be told in their own right. ...
