BRAZIL’S DANCE WITH THE DEVIL: THE WORLD CUP, THE OLYMPICS, AND THE STRUGGLE FOR DEMOCRACY
Book ID/图书代码： 11650013B66512
English Summary/英文概要： The people of Brazil celebrated when it was announced that they were hosting the twentieth World Cup (June 12–July 13, 2014), the world’s most-viewed sporting tournament, and the thirty-first Summer Olympics (August 5–21, 2016).
Now they are protesting in numbers the country hasn’t seen in decades, with Brazilians taking to the streets to try to reclaim the sports they love but see being corrupted by powerful corporate interests, profiteering, and greed. In this compelling new book, relying on original reporting from the most dangerous corners of Rio to the halls of power in Washington, DC, Dave Zirin examines how sports and politics are colliding in remarkable fashion in Brazil, opening up an international conversation on the culture, economics, and politics of sports.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 当宣布其将举办全球最受瞩目的体育盛事---第二十届世界杯（2014年6月12日--7月13日）以及第三十一届夏季奥运会（2016年8月5日-8月21日）时，巴西人民欢腾了。
但如今巴西人民却出现了十数年都未曾出现过的大规模游行抗议，他们走上街头宣称其对于这样运动的热爱已经被权利集团，利益商以及他们的贪婪所腐坏。在这本精彩的新作中，戴夫·兹林将根据来自于里约热内卢危险街角和位于华盛顿DC的权利中心的最初报道，一窥究竟体育运动是如何与政治以一种惊人的方式在巴西勾结一气，亦将因此打开一场有关于文化、经济、政治和运动的国际对话。（DC）
Awards/获奖情况：“你必须一读戴夫·兹林并相信他，只要你阅读了他的文字，你就一定会相信他。”----杰克·马卡勒姆，资深作家
“我曾经称戴夫·兹林是美国最优秀的年轻体育作家。我的判断并不准确，他完全就是最棒的。”---罗伯特·利普斯泰特
“戴夫·兹林不仅仅是一名激进而聪明的体育评论员，他和娜奥米·克莱恩一样，使我们新自由时代的一名极具探寻精神的记者。他意识到体育与资本、种族、阶级、性别、私有化等联合运作并发生作用。正因为此，他的作品才对我们当中的绝大多数人如此重要。”
"You have to read David Zirin to believe him, and if you read him, you will believe him."—Jack McCallum, senior writer, Sports Illustrated
"I once said Dave Zirin was the best young sportswriter in the US. I was wrong. He’s simply the best."—Robert Lipsyte
“Dave Zirin is not just the radical brilliant sports critic but along with Naomi Klein THE investigative journalist of our neoliberal era. He has figured out that sports operates at the the nexus of capitalism, race, class, sexuality, privatization and of course spectacle. That’s why his work is so important to so many of us.”
