This book explores the key issues of racism, anti-racism and identity in
British football. It relates the history of black players in the game,
analyses the racism they have experienced, and evaluates the efficacy of
anti-racist campaigns. The efficacy of the policing of racism is also
assessed. The nationalism and xenophobia evident in much of the media's
coverage of major tournaments is highlighted in the context of the way
that English, Scottish and Welsh identities are constructed within
British football.
