Reviews

"Bigotry, Football and Scotland is a work of high quality, although, like everything else, it establishes its own discursive formation, effectively setting parameters on legitimate subjects for discussion.--Dominic Brown ""Bella Caledonia"" John Flint's and John Kelly's 2013 edited collection Bigotry, Football and Scotland gives the title topic a twenty-first century sheen... the authors, the academics, writers and supporter-bloggers (a welcome addition) here are engaging in a constructive dialogue. Bigotry, Football and Scotland, despite being designed to foster debate and accept disagreement, nevertheless works as a cohesive whole. The editors... justifiably feel that they have put together a collection whereby scholars and policy-makers can hopefully build upon the opening-up of the topic and can begin to move beyond the most superficial discourses of sectarianism. --Matthew L. McDowell, University of Edinburgh ""The International Journal of the History of Sport"""
