The history of sport in socialist Yugoslavia is a peculiar lens
through which to examine the country's social, cultural and
political transformations. Sport is represented as one of the most
popular and engaging cultural phenomena of social life. Sport both
embodied the social dynamics of the socialist period as well as
revealing questions of the everyday lives of the Yugoslav people.
Ultimately, sport was closely intertwined with the country's
overall destiny. This volume offers an introduction into the myriad
social functions that sport served in the Yugoslav socialist
project. It illustrates how sport was central to the establishment
of Yugoslavia's physical and leisure culture in the early
post-Second World War period, an international promotional tool for
Yugoslav communists championing the ideological superiority of the
'Brotherhood and Unity' and the Non-Aligned Movement, as well as a
social field in which the ideological contradictions of Yugoslav
socialism became increasingly apparent. The chapters expand the
existing knowledge of the processes that defined Yugoslav sport and
contribute to a more nuanced understanding of socialist Yugoslavia
in the years between 1945 and 1991. This book was originally
published as a special issue of The International Journal of the
History of Sport.
