should not be easy to bring together eleven authors of different nationalities to talk about two things: football and Africa. Incidentally these eleven authors are African, but different countries have different realities and lived experiences. But taking advantage of the first World Cup held last year in South Africa have been collected in this volume to tell a story through his vision of it. With that attitude that includes a result, despite the above, not all homogeneous, rather it is a mixed result. African authors have indeed, one of the so-called Black Africa, others in the African Sahel. Different visions, different stocks. And some are already living outside the continent and have had contact with Europe. No wonder then that football is an excuse. In some accounts is the main content, which, in others it is only a part of it.

on the content I found three good stories, incidentally some of the hardest.
I will summarize briefly the contents of all the stories:

In The latest round of Kangni Beckett Alem (Togo) a literary competition and a football tournament becomes the perfect excuse to forget the sorrows.

Spirit In body of South African writer Mark Behr apardheid item appears insidiously after the existence of an elite school, two opposing worlds: the rich and the poor, for whites and blacks.

Belaskri Yahia (Algeria) presents one of the most disturbing stories in the book, yet wild. Its title: Black and White . It tells how the outcome of a football match is an excuse for a wave of violence after shaking a city from the suburbs: murder, rape, cruelty, humiliation ... Undoubtedly one of the most successful stories and leaves enough wrong body, I must say.

The penalty Anouar Benmalek is another of the tales that give a lasting vision of the African reality. Here is a couple of friends watching a football game. One of them has memory lapses. Lapses that have been used by someone to commit a terrorist attack. A chilling tale showing that part of reality that takes place in some African countries of Muslim culture. The clash between religious fundamentalism and life.

Ananda Devi (Mauritius) we face in The clan of robbers a story not too original but with a curious end. The story is repeated in other developing stories with different endings. In this case we speak of a jungle boy who is booked for playing professionally. With different results and varying history N'Sondé Wilfried Ball raises dust the disenchantment of the boy who travels to Europe to be a star and is the incomprehension of his family, the rejection of his fellow club, discipline, competition and injury terrifying. A heartbreaking story and realistic, very different from Ananda Devi, perhaps more imaginative. The N'Sondé story transcends history and removes us from the inside and we are suffering the misery of the boy who can only win a ball of dust.

In Sentimental Education, Laila Lalami (Morocco) raises the issue a boy who discovers who his father. It seems to grow as a bastard becomes a curse for the life of the protagonist who does not know how to cope in front of their friends.

Alain Mabanckou (Congo-Brazzaville) account will win the 2010 World Cup Utopia to win the world knowing that you have little chance.

Then the story of Jamal Mahjoub, in Far from home, a writer based in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich tells a story based on a few topics that have appeared in the press: the story of the street gangs of thieves and highly immigrant children violent-I remember reading the news by reference to British and American governments had recommended in its official website that their nationals were careful to come to Barcelona and racism resulted from football. While the story is well constructed, reality, perhaps, is a bit overblown.

The last two stories are the Nigerian Football of Uzor Maxim Uzoatu (Nigeria) and Somewhere the kickoff of the prologue and anthologist, Abdourahman A. Waberi (Djibouti). The first is a sense of humor with pretensions of an Englishman to coach a football team in the second Nigerian football is the reason that cures everything when you start the game.

Finally, an anthology of stories from Africa and football, with some very accomplished and stories that reflect a reality sometimes silenced and unknown. An opportunity to get to other worlds narrated by the actors, an interesting experience that should be supported for the sake of better understanding of a continent so close and so many things that unite us. Mention that the issue is joint and is sponsored by Africa House.
