Fan Culture in European Football and the Influence of Left Wing Ideology

This book explores the tradition of left wing political thinking in the culture of fans of professional football in Europe. It examines how football, as a cultural form, carries with it the possibility of promoting the voices of the disenfranchised and the marginalised, and so the basis for nurturing solidarity against oppression, alienation and exploitation current in modern capitalist society. _x005F_x000D_ This book was published as a special issue of Soccer and Society.
