Penguin has a page up for my new book, coming Feb 2027, HOUSE SOCIETY
The epigraph is from Kenneth T. Jackson's famous "Crabgrass Frontier": "... no society can be fully understood apart from the residences of its members"
The book is an exploration and affirmation of that thesis!

The Arab Palestine Sports Federation was originally founded in 1931 - so much for the bullshit that Palestinians weren't Palestinians before the Brits created Israel. One of a ton of facts and anecdotes in Correia's Une histoire populaire du football (here in PT edition).

Originally written for a French audience, Victor Pereira's book is an excellent summary of the PREC and its antecedents. Could had been more explicit in associating the rise of the far right in the present with the banalisation of PREC pushed by self defined progressive forces.
