Calum Jacobs is a writer, editor and creative practitioner from south London who draws on sociology, history and culture to explore the liminality of Black British life. In 2017, he launched CARICOM Magazine, a print and online platform dedicated to discussing football and broader culture through a Black lens. Jacobs is also a contributor to various sport and culture publications, and has worked on creative projects for agencies and brands. A New Formation is his first book.
A New Formation tells the stories of these legends in their own
words on their own terms. This is cultural expression, social
history and black pride at its finest.
*Observer*
A New Formation is an expansive yet nuanced history of football's
black pioneers, past and present.
*New Statesman*
A New Formation is quite simply one of the most important football
books ever written. What we often like to imagine as the history of
football has, for the most part, been written entirely through the
white male gaze. In this collection of essays A New Formation tells
new stories, forgotten stories, undervalued stories, and does so
with heart and humanity and humour. It's our game, as narrated by
the people who love it.
*Jonathan Liew*
A groundbreaking document of football history.
*GQ Magazine*
A manifesto for a new look at the history of football and a
different way of talking about the sport.
*Hype Beast*
