Sportfunktionäre und jüdische Differenz

Abstract

Based on information about more than 600 Viennese Jewish officials, the book examines issues related to the self-characterization and outside characterization of Jews in Vienna. Sports are an important part of urban identity politics, providing a multifaceted image of engagement with Jewish "difference." The study focuses on mass consumption sports, especially football, but includes swimming, boxing, and workers' sports.
