In what sense can organized football fans be understood as
political actors or participants in social movements? How do fan
struggles link to wider social and political transformations? And
what methodological dilemmas arise when researching fan activism?
Fan Activism, Protest and Politics seeks ethnographic answers to
these questions in a context - Zagreb, Croatia - shaped by the
recent Yugoslav wars, nation-state building, post-socialist
'transition' and EU accession. Through in-depth ethnography
following the everyday subcultural practices of a left-wing fan
group, NK Zagreb's White Angels, alongside terrace observations and
interviews conducted with members of GNK Dinamo's Bad Blue Boys,
this book details fans' interactions with the police, club
management, state authorities and other fan groups. Themes ranging
from politics, socialization, masculinity, sexuality and violence
to fan authenticity are examined. In moving between two groups, the
book explores methodological issues of wider relevance to
researchers using ethnographic methods. This is important reading
for students and researchers alike in the fields of football
studies, regional studies of the former Yugoslavia and
post-socialism, political sociology and social movements, and
studies of masculinity, gender and sexuality. A useful resource for
scholars writing about social movements and protest, or
post-socialist subcultural scenes in south-east Europe, the book is
also a fascinating read for policymakers interested in better
understanding the contemporary (geo)political situation in the
region.
