Studying Football

Book Overview

Football is the most widely played, watched and studied sport in the world. It's hard to develop a full understanding of the significance of sport in global society without understanding the significance of football. This is the first book designed to support the study of football on degree-level courses, across the full range of social-scientific perspectives. Written by a team of leading international football experts, it introduces key themes in football studies such as history, media, politics, fandom, business, race, gender and celebrity. Every chapter includes up-to-date case study material and features to aid student understanding and bring theory to life.
