Troilo. A Theory of Everything
Writing about Troilo over a century after his birth and nearly fifty years after his death implies a certainty: the artist, who performed with him, in all but a few cases, no longer exist. That vast absence compels us to seek Troilo where he never left: the music. “Troilo: Biography of Argentina” is a music book, but also a precise and rigorous painting of a mobilized, vigorous and encompassing country where culture –and tango– were in the spotlight. It might well be read as a text that uncovers the keys of growth and decline of Argentina
The Life, Music, and Times of Carlos Gardel
In the first biography in English of the great Argentinian tango singer Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), Collier traces his rise from very modest beginnings to become the first genuine "superstar" of twentieth-century Latin America. In his late teens, Gardel won local fame in the barrios of Buenos Aires singing in cafes and political clubs. By the 1920s, after he switched to tango singing, the songs he wrote and sang enjoyed instant popularity and have become classics of the genre. He began making movies in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as the most popular star of the Spanish-language cinema, and at the time of his death Paramount was planning to launch his Hollywood career.Collier's biography focuses on Gardel's artistic career and achievements but also sets his life story within the context of the tango tradition, of early twentieth-century Argentina, and of the history of popular entertainment.

Football Fans Around the World
This volume investigates the way in which football supporters around the world express themselves as followers of teams, whether they be professional, amateur or national. The diverse geographical and cultural array of contributions to this volume highlights not only the variety of how fans express themselves, but their commonalities as well. The collection brings together scholars of North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa to present a global picture of fan culture. The collection shows that while every group of fans around the world has its own characteristics, the role of a football fan is laced with commonalities, irrespective of geography or culture.

The Golden Age of Tango
"Published by the Argentine Dept. of Culture and the National Academy of Tango, this beautifully produced coffee-table book is an abridged version of the author's El libro del tango (see HLAS 46:7032). Written in English to serve as a gift from Argentine authorities to foreign visitors, the work is richly illustrated and covers over 100 years of tango history. Lacking a bibliography and source citations, it is of limited use to specialists"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Storie maledette del calcio
Anche lo sport più popolare del mondo nasconde segreti indicibili, storie che non vogliono (o non possono) essere divulgate. Dal 1889 – universalmente riconosciuto come l’anno zero del calcio – sono ottantotto i giocatori deceduti sul rettangolo verde. Ma in questi racconti si parla di morti dovute a cure “speciali”, suicidi inspiegabili che hanno lasciato sgomenti, terribili agonie provocate da malattie rare. Sla in primis. E poi omicidi, che in molti casi non hanno ancora un colpevole. Da Taccola a Vialli, da Astori a Fortunato passando per Maradona, unico straniero della nera raccolta: Roberto Maida narra le tragedie più dolorose e misteriose della storia del calcio italiano arricchendole con testimonianze, inchieste e aneddoti straordinari. Tutto ciò che videocamere e microfoni non hanno mai potuto raccontare.
