- Summary
- "This volume demonstrates that sport has been effectively used, both calculatedly and unintentionally, to forge feelings of national solidarity. It has been responsible, with other political agents, for creating 'tribalism' in modern Europe. Arguably its potency in this regard, in Europe and indeed elsewhere, is increasing rather than diminishing as a product of new technologies, nascent national defensiveness and bewilderment with complexity. It might yet prove to be one stumbling block to future European supranational ambitions, especially if nationalistic political forces begin to appreciate its emotional hold over populations, the significance for them of emblems associated with athletic allegiance and its in-built capacity for separateness rather than 'togetherness'."--BOOK JACKET.
