On the New Books Network, we discussed The Making of “Jew Clubs”. We talked about Jewish clubs vs. “Jew Clubs,” antisemitism and philosemitism in football fan cultures, and the question of whether the past can ever be "mastered." Really enjoyed the exchange! 🔗 newbooksnetwork.com/the-making-o...

Pavel Brunssen @brunssen.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

The book explores how four major clubs — FC Bayern München, FK Austria Wien, AFC Ajax, and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club — came to be seen as “Jewish.” It analyzes how football has become a site for negotiating: • Collective memory • Identity • Antisemitism in post-WWII Europe. /3
