Croatia: community, conflict and culture: the role of soccer clubs in migrant identity

In: Immigrants & minorities, Band 17, Heft 1

Abstract

Deals with the role of soccer in the creation of migrant identity in Australia for the generation who arrived in the 20 years after the Second World War. Is concerned primarily with questions of identity in an historically specific time and place for a particular group of migrants who arrived from various parts of Europe and who defined themselves as Croatians in the years after World War 2, and the role which soccer clubs played in the negotiation of these identities with the host and other communities.
