The Making of "Jew Clubs"
Take a deep dive into four European football clubs that are widely known as '"Jew Clubs."' Though none of these football clubs are explicitly Jewish, learn how they have become arenas for negotiating ideas about Jewishness and antisemitism in contemporary European society. In The Making of "Jew Clubs", author Pavel Brunssen uses FC Bayern Munich, Austria Vienna, Ajax Amsterdam, and Tottenham Hotspur as case studies to investigate how post-Holocaust, European societies engage with the Jewish community and how Jews navigate their identities within them. Using an array of primary sources, he argues that football is a contested space for shared memory cultures and collective identities. The Making of "Jew Clubs" is an indispensable read for anyone interested in European football, cultural studies, Jewish history, memory cultures, and the evolving dynamics of antisemitism in contemporary European societies.
Antisemitism in Football
This book investigates the nature and prevalence of expressions of antisemitism within the context of football in Europe and beyond, as well as attempts to challenge and combat this problematic phenomenon. Drawing on empirical research, the book presents a series of case studies of countries in which both football and antisemitism have been prominent, including England, Italy, Germany, Holland, Poland, Argentina and Hungary. Each chapter explains the historical context of why antisemitism prevails in their country and their country’s football culture; considers those football clubs with a ‘Jewish’ heritage and identity (which tend to be the catalyst for antisemitic abuse); and critical...
Football Nation
Over the past century, the impact of football on Germany has been manifold, influencing the arts, political debates, and even contributing to the construction of cultural memories and national narratives. Football Nation analyses the game’s fluid role in shaping and reflecting German society, and spans its focus on modern German history, from the Wilhelmine era to the early 21st century. Expounding on topics of gender, class, fandom, spectatorship, antisemitism, nationalism, and internationalism, a diverse group of interdisciplinary scholars offer a novel approach to understanding the many influences of football throughout its extensive history which until recently has only been available to a German-speaking readership.
Football, Fandom and Collective Memory
This book examines the topic of identity and collective memory in football fandom. Drawing on global research in history, sociology and political science, the book looks at how, where and why football fans and supporters’ groups introduce particular role models into their self-identity and performative narratives. The book presents original, cutting-edge research that illustrates the complex, multidimensional nature of the (re-)formulation of collective memory and the elevation of role models. It looks at the processes by which some supporters’ groups celebrate historical and contemporary figures – including political leaders, warriors, revolutionaries, or armed resistance groups – t...
Football, Politics and Identity
This book presents a series of fascinating case studies that show how the lives and bodies of clubs, players and fans around the world are enmeshed with politics. It draws on original research in countries including England, Scotland, Ireland, Poland, Mexico, Algeria and Argentina and includes both historical and contemporary perspectives. It explores some of the most important themes in the study of sport, including sectarianism, migration, fan activism and national identity, and shows how football continues to be tied to political events, symbols and movements. This is fascinating reading for any student or researcher working in sport studies, political science, sociology or contemporary history.
Football and Discrimination
This book takes a close look at discrimination in football in order to illuminate our understanding of the interaction between sport and wider society, politics and culture, particularly in terms of the (re)production of identity. It presents insightful and diverse international case studies, including the shadow of fascism in Italian football; fan activism against racism, sexism, and homophobia in US soccer; migrant football clubs in Germany, and the use of football club history in the teaching of antisemitism. Together they demonstrate the damaging societal consequences of unchecked resentment and discrimination in football fan cultures but also the potential for fan activism as a socio-positive force. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in football or fandom, the sociology of sport, cultural studies, or political science.
