The C. O. W. S. Mário Filho's The Black Man in Brazilian Soccer Part 15 ⚽️ (Conclusion)

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 15th and final study session on Mário Filho's 1947 The Black Man in Brazilian Soccer, translated to English by Jack A. Draper III. Football legend Pelé finally appeared in the text briefly last weekly, and he'll dominate as we finish the text this week. The three time World Cup champion changed the way the business of soccer is done. We'll pay close attention to the details of his life and times as we wrap things up. It's been a fascinating time to learn about Brazil. The numerous school attacks and ongoing hooliganism surrounding last year's presidential election greatly informed how Gus processed the information in this book. Last week, we learned a new Racist slur: "moleque." This word is used specifically to insult black males. Draped includes a footnote that explains this term and he adds that Filho used this term to degrade black male players. The phrase "street urchin" litters the entire book and is described as a sanitized synonym to moleque. We also heard more talk about kinky hair and extra, super dark black males. #WhiteGeneticAnnihilation #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
