The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 14th study session on Mário Filho's 1947 The Black Man in Brazilian Soccer, translated to English by Jack A. Draper III. Last week, former President Jair Bolsonaro was order to testify about the disgraceful melee that took place following his electoral defeat just months ago. Current President Lula de Silva visited China to bolster the two nation's relationship and to encourage moving away from the US dollar as a currency of trade. This was big news back in the states. Additionally, Brazil continues to endure countless school attacks. There were two different school assaults at the beginning of last week, which marked the 11th school massacre in the past 8 months. It's reported that only the US has similar rates of violent school massacres. Last week, Filho told us about the 1950 championship battle between Uruguay and Brazil. Nearly a quarter million people crammed the stands to watch the favored Brazilians take a loss. Just like current times, black players were blamed for the defeat. Careca, a black player, was branded the greatest "dirtbag" to kick a ball. And we got even more talk about negroes with big thighs and "loud," "bad hair." This was contrasted by the "clean," "purity" and alleged sportsmanship of the White English soccer players.
