This book presents an ethnographic description and sociological
interpretation of the 'football gatherings' that evolved out of
central Romania in the late twentieth century. In the 1980's,
Romanian public television did not broadcast football mega-events
for economic and political reasons. In response, masses of people
would leave their homes and travel into the mountains to pick-up
the TV broadcast from neighbouring countries. The phenomenon grew
into a social institution with a penetrating force: it produced an
alternative social space and a dissident public that pointed to a
form of resistance taking place through football. Forbidden
Football in Ceausescu's Romania provides an insight into the
everyday life under the pressure of dictatorship and, through the
special patterns of sports consumption, it tells a social history
through small individual stories related to football.
