The study of football fandom is a fast-growing area of research in
the sociology of sport. The first work of its kind, this book
explores football fan activism and its impact on contemporary
football culture in England, Italy and the Czech Republic.
Presenting a comparative study of fan activism in national and
transnational contexts, it explores the characteristics of each
country's football fan culture as well as the varying and at times
volatile dynamics between fans, authorities and the mass media. Its
chapters address key themes and issues including: fans' reactions
to policing and security measures in football stadiums; the
socio-cultural significance of symbols and rituals for fans at
football games; and fans' critical engagement with football club
ownership and management. Offering original insights into the power
of fan activism to influence social change, this book has wider
implications for understanding social movements in other cultural
and political spheres beyond Europe. Football Fans, Activism and
Social Change is fascinating reading for all students, scholars and
football fans with an interest in sport studies, fan culture,
politics and society.
