Recensioner i media

Cultural Studies has long been criticized for neglecting sport. Football Comes Home distinctly addresses this oversight. Based in semiotic analysis it provides an original survey of European football insignia and in so doing offers an insightful symbolic history, giving view to the deep structures of identity that are not revealed by more standard forms of social research. For academics, students and even the general reader interested in the cultural significance of football, this is an essential book.
