The book "Las barras bravas"

I will talk about the book that I am reading in this moment, the name of the book is “Las Barras Bravas”, and the writer of the book is Andrés Recasens who is a very famous anthropologist that wrote about soccer and hooligans (Barras Bravas). The book that I am reading is an academics book for me, maybe some people read this book as entertainment, but I am reading because I am making a research for the investigation’s course; it is about hooligans and political reivindications. The reason of that the book “The Barras Bravas” is very important in my research is because its results were based on ethnographic work in the stadiums and about a lot of interviews done to people who are soccer fans.

The book offers me information about a lot themes associated with the hooligans as the motivations that have the persons for take part in this groups and your organization; other important theme that the book offer me is about the violence that characterize this group, the book explain the reasons of the violence of this group with others groups, and example of this phenomenon is the eternal rivalry between the groups of Colo-Colo and the University of Chile.

I believe that this book is the most important in this moment, but when I will write my thesis also I will use this book, because I would like to do my thesis about the same theme.
