 nication\nSimpson Center for the Humanities\n\nDrawing on Eric Hobsbawm'
 s claim that “the imagined community of millions seems more real as a te
 am of eleven named people\,” this talk explores the power of sports team
 s. Using examples from post-apartheid South Africa and elsewhere\, Jacob
 s asks: Can sports teams expand the boundaries of “the nation\,” or can 
 they really overcome xenophobia? Or does sport's celebrated power ultima
 tely reveal the limits of nationalism and identity?\n\nAbout the speaker
