Infos

This book combines pieces of work on Europe and Latin America, the two continents where football arouses the most ardent passions among its spectators. Curiously, an undertaking to compare on a large scale the forms extreme fandom takes in these two geographical areas is still lacking. A situational analysis of the scientific literature devoted to the subject over the last two or three decades represents a step in this direction, making a scattered store of knowledge accessible. It thus answers a need to clarify regional differences in identities and in the practices of supporters. 

Bernardo Buarque de Hollanda is an Associate Professor at the School of Social Sciences and a researcher at the Centre for Research and Documentation on Brazilian Contemporary History at the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV/CPDOC), Brazil.

Thomas Busset is a Historian and Scientific Collaborator at the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES), University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. He oversees research on the links between hooliganism and right-wing extremism in Switzerland. Among his books are Aux Frontières Du Football Et Du Politique (2016) and L'autre Visage Du Supportérisme (2014).
