Ihis book weaves together a rich tapestry on football fandom in Zimbabwe.
Based on empirical research focusing on the different dimensions of fan
practices and experiences, the book is the result of multiple fieldwork processes
with fans in Zimbabwe spanning a period of eight years including desk
research, interviews, observation, focus group discussions and netnography.
It demonstrates the nexus between social identities and supporting a sports
team, highlighting that there are deeper underlying meanings and assumptions
to ones support of a sporting team. Manase Chiweshe highlights the various
nuances of supporting football clubs. This book provides an alternative way
to understanding communities and how sport can be viewed as a serious lens
into societal organisations. It offers important insights into how Zimbabweans
are also engaged in leisure activities and that play is also part of their life
worlds. Given the major focus on poverty, disease and conflict, African stories
of intimate play and enjoyment tend to be sidelined. Soccer has the power
to bring together or divide communities. In many an African context, just as
in Zimbabwe, everyday ethnic and religious rivalries are played out through
football matches. It is thus important to capture this space and use football as
a way to heal historic and deep-seated conflicts.
HR. MANASI- (T IIWl SUL is a Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Lifelong
Learning at Chinhoyi University of Technology and winner of the 2015
Gerti Hessling Award for the best paper in African studies. He is an African
scholar with interest in African football, gender and youth studies. His other
interests include agrarian studies, sport studies, urban and rural sociology. He
is widely published and has presented at numerous international conferences.
Pr Chiweshe’s work revolves around the sociology of everyday life in African
spaces with special focus on promoting African ways of knowing.
