Tribal Identities : Nationalism, Europe, Sport Hardback
Edited by J A (University of Strathclyde, UK) Mangan
Part of the Sport in the Global Society series
Hardback
Description
Sport is far more than a national and international entertainment: it is a source of political identity, morale, pride and superiority.
Tribal Identities explores the influence of sport on the nations of Europe as a mechanism of national solidarity promoting a sense of identity, unity, status and esteem; as an instrument of confrontation between nations, stimulating aggression, stereotyping, and images of inferiority and superiority; and as a cultural bond linking nations across national boundaries, providing common enthusiasm, shared experiences, the transcendence of national allegiances, and opportunities for association, understanding and goodwill.
