Showcasing some of the most important current research in football
studies, this book demonstrates the value of social theory and
sociology in helping us to better understand the world's favourite
sport. This book sheds critical new light on key issues in
contemporary football, with each chapter using a different
theoretical lens, drawing on the work of key thinkers from Elias
and Foucault to Hall and Maffesoli. It explores issues and topics
central to the study of modern football, including homophobia,
feminist-informed coaching practice, the racialised experiences of
black professional footballers, the concussion crisis and the role
of identity in online football communities. It also looks ahead at
the issues that are likely to define the research agenda in
football studies in years to come. This is fascinating reading for
any student or researcher with an interest in football, the
sociology of sport, social theory or social issues in wider
society.
