Racism and Xenophobia in European Football

The papers in this volume summarize the results of a research project funded by the EU focussing on racism(s), xenophobia and anti-Semitism in European football and their implications on European integration. In the first part of the book, conceptual and historical considerations are given. The second section includes case studies in six European countries. Each chapter is written with a comparative perspective focussing not only on the specific situation in the country covered but also on policy initiatives to combat racism(s), xenophobia and anti-Semitism. The book is part of the “Sport, Leisure and Physical Education Trends and Development” series.
