Soccer community formation and the creation of a Mexican barrio in the Great Lakes
Michigan State University History Professor Juan Javier Pescador delivers a talk entitled, "Soccer Community Formation and the Creation of a Mexican Barrio in the Great Lakes." Pescador describes how the affinity for sports, especially soccer, helped create a social space to initiate political participation, define ethnicity, defy segregation, and celebrate a notion of being Mexican. He looks at the evolution and transformation of the Mexican soccer communities. Pescador is introduced by Kurt Dewhurst, Director of the Center for Great Lakes Culture. Part of the Michigan Sate University Libraries' Colloquia Series and cosponsored by the Center for Great Lakes Culture. Held in the MSU Main Library.
