Outsiders

A Football Fanatic's South American Odyssey

About this book

Brazilian journalist and football writer Rodrigo Barneschi takes you on a whirlwind ' away-day' tour across 46 stadiums in 29 cities around South America.

Glowing reviews in major news outlets have placed Outsiders in the middle ground between Nick Hornby' s Fever Pitch and Bill Buford' s Among the Thugs. If you loved those, you' ll love this!

This fascinating book:

Provides a critical portrait of contemporary South American footballReveals how the experience of being a fan there has changed over the last three decadesBrings us the author' s unique perspective on what it means to be a supporter in a continent that is crazy about footballCharts the author' s richly varied exploits as a visiting supporter, from long journeys on dozens of buses, to airport adventures, to confrontations with police or between rival crowds: experiences that have been, as he puts it, ' the best, worst and most intense moments of my life'

Originally published in Brazil, the book was widely acclaimed in South America both by the public and media.
