Srđan Vrcan: Soccer - Politics - Violenece: essays on sociology of soccer

In Croatian sociological literature new books on sport sociology are quite a rarity. Therefore, the book "Soccer-Politics-Violence" is a great contribution to the works of sport sociology, particularly to the sociology of soccer. The book by Srđan Vrcan is an interesting and rewarding piece of reading material for sport sociologists and kinesiologist alike, in general, for all people interested in the phenomenon of sport, soccer or association football in particular. It is a result of many years of research and critical deliberation upon the phenomenon of soccer and its social environment, and a kind of sequel to Vrcan's previous study "Sports and violence here and today", which was published in 1990. The thematic framework is built out of concepts soccer, politics and violence. It should be underlined here that soccer is investigated as a phenomenon per se. Soccer is established nowadays in the centre of social life, therefore, it has become much more than a game and entertainment - it has become a kind of a global game which has inundated the world.
