This book, with contributions from many of the world’s leading polo journalists, profiles more than 30 of the most influential polo players from history. The players covered were selected for inclusion based on their overall impact on the game rather than their prowess on the field, although many covered are considered all-time greats. Each chapter covers an individual player, including early pioneers, those who played during the “golden era” (the years between World War I and World War II), superstars, game-changers, and great contemporaries. The book includes numerous photographs and a foreword by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales.

The first book to examine the transformation of sporting cultures in South America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Sports in South America follows the transformation of sporting cultures in South America leading up to Uruguay’s hosting of the first FIFA Men’s World Cup in 1930. Matthew Brown shows how South American soccer culture, envied worldwide, sprang out of societies that were already playing and watching games well before British sportsmen arrived to teach “the beautiful game.” These vibrant and distinct sporting traditions, including cycling, boxing, cockfighting, bullfighting, cricket, baseball, and horse racing, were marked by South American societies’ Indigenous and colonial pasts and by their leaders’ desire to participate in what they saw as a global movement toward human progress. Drawing on a wealth of original archival research, Brown debunks legends, highlights the stories of forgotten sportswomen and Indigenous sports, and unpacks the social and cultural connections within South America and with the rest of the world.

En noviembre de 1918, Carlos Gardel y José Razzano, entonces de gira en la provincia de La Pampa, se escaparon hasta Buenos Aires para presenciar la "carrera del siglo" entre dos purasangres de enorme prestigio, Botafogo y Grey Fox. Ese día, todo el país se detuvo, cautivado por el gran espectáculo que tuvo lugar en el hipódromo de Palermo. Hasta los años cincuenta, la Argentina fue una verdadera "nación burrera", que vibraba al ritmo de las carreras de caballos. En las décadas de apogeo del turf, nadie desconocía el nombre de los principales caballos y los mejores jinetes, o el resultado de los grandes eventos del calendario hípico. Y el hipódromo atraía a decenas de miles de espectadores y un enorme volumen de apuestas, muy superior al de Francia o Inglaterra. Adentrándose en un mundo poco conocido hasta hoy, Roy Hora traza una historia social del turf argentino desde sus inicios en el siglo XIX hasta la actualidad. Además de un entretenimiento de extraordinario eco en los sectores populares, el turf fue un espectáculo en el que la clase alta desempeñó un papel fundamental, invirtiendo enormes recursos para colocarlo bajo su dominio y patronazgo. Las clases medias, por su parte, pasaron del entusiasmo a la crítica moral. El autor explora los orígenes de las carreras de caballos y su relación con la cultura ecuestre criolla que las precedió, el papel del Jockey Club y de la elite social en la forja y las transformaciones del hipódromo, y la constitución de los jockeys en jinetes profesionales y estrellas deportivas. También expone los debates que el turf suscitó, así como las razones del auge y ocaso del interés de los argentinos por los caballos de carrera. Escenario de encuentro entre distintos mundos sociales, la historia del turf ofrece un prisma a través del cual analizar las relaciones entre la elite, las clases medias y los sectores populares, así como los grandes procesos de cambio social que la Argentina atravesó entre los tiempos de Sarmiento y Perón.

"Once again I repeat that I am not an impartial; objective critic. My judgments are nourished by my ideals, my sentiments, my passions. I have an avowed and resolute ambition: to assist in the creation of Peruvian socialism. I am far removed from the academic techniques of the university."—From the Author's Note Jose Carlos Mariátegui was one of the leading South American social philosophers of the early twentieth century. He identified the future of Peru with the welfare of the Indian at a time when similar ideas were beginning to develop in Middle America and the Andean region. Generations of Peruvian and other Latin American social thinkers have been profoundly influenced by his writings. Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality (Siete ensayos de interpretación de la realidad peruana), first published in 1928, is Mariátegui's major statement of his position and has gone into many editions, not only in Peru but also in other Latin American countries. The topics discussed in the essays—economic evolution, the problem of the Indian, the land problem, public education, the religious factor, regionalism and centralism, and the literary process—are in many respects as relevant today as when the book was written. Mariátegui's thinking was strongly tinged with Marxism. Because contemporary sociology, anthropology, and economics have been influenced by Marxism much more in Latin America than in North America, it is important that North Americans become more aware of Mariátegui's position and accord it its proper historical significance. Jorge Basadre, the distinguished Peruvian historian, in an introduction written especially for this translation, provides an account of Mariátegui's life and describes the political and intellectual climate in which these essays were written.
