BOOK WOUNDS ON THE SKIN: FOOTBALL, RACISM, AND IDENTITY

This book is Alberto Edjogo's journalistic and personal journey through the most uncomfortable—and also hopeful—corners of Spanish football. With a perspective that combines personal experience and research, Edjogo reconstructs the most painful episodes of racism in football and contrasts them with a new reality that is beginning to change the narrative.

From Wilfred at the Bernabéu to the Law against violence, passing through Vinícius, Eto’o, and the emergence of young Afro-Spanish role models, this work denounces, challenges, and proposes. Because football continues to be a mirror of society, and if today there are Black idols in the national team, it is because many before them endured the unbearable.

A brave book that does not seek revenge, but justice. That not only points out open wounds but also shows the way to heal them.
