Citizens and Sportsmen. Fútbol and Politics in Twentieth-Century Chile (Brenda Elsey, 2011)
Chapter: Middle eastern immigrant clubs, pages 157-173
Valuable book, because it refers to the amateur history of sports clubs in Chile.
It also refers to the amateur stage of Club Deportivo Palestino, also illustrating the racism of Chilean society against the Arab immigrant at that time.
