FC Barcelona: History, Politics and Identity, edited by Jim O'Brien, Xavier Ginesta and Jordi de San Eugenio (Routledge) is the first critical, in-depth academic study of FC Barcelona (also known as Barça), one of the world’s great football clubs, exploring the historical, political, cultural and commercial dimensions of this global sporting institution. Jan Andre Lee Ludvigsen is our appreciative reviewer, and he lauds the idiographic approach. His only complaint is the missing chapter on El Clásico.
