Beschrijving Global Culture and Sport Series: Forbidden Football in Ceausescu’s Romania


This book presents an ethnographic description and sociological interpretation of the 'football gatherings' that evolved out of central Romania in the late twentieth century. In the 1980's, Romanian public television did not broadcast football mega-events for economic and political reasons. In response, masses of people would leave their homes and travel into the mountains to pick-up the TV broadcast from neighbouring countries. The phenomenon grew into a social institution with a penetrating force: it produced an alternative social space and a dissident public that pointed to a form of resistance taking place through football.
Forbidden Football in Ceausescu's Romania provides an insight into the everyday life under the pressure of dictatorship and, through the special patterns of sports consumption, it tells a social history through small individual stories related to football.

Driven by the Monsoons

Barry Cunliffe tells the story of trade across the Indian Ocean using the evidence of archaeology and the tales of great travellers, showing how, across thousands of years, humans have been driven by need and the sheer desire to own exotic goods to create and maintain trade routes whatever the difficulties.

Petitions and Petitioning in Europe and North America

The first study of petitioning from the late medieval period to the era of e-petitions, Petitions and Petitioning in Europe and North America explains why these practices have been central to the exercise and contestation of power across North America and Europe.

Blue Jerusalem

The story of how the post-war Labour government under Clement Attlee re-fashioned Britain is a familiar one. This is the alternative story of how the Conservatives envisioned Britain's post-war future, revealing the bold, at times utopian, plans that British Conservatives drew up for Britain and the post-war world.
