Description

Anthropologist Kate Fox offers an engaging exploration of British horseracing culture through the lens of social anthropology. Rather than conducting fieldwork in remote locations, Fox embedded herself within the racing community, discovering a complete subculture with distinctive customs, rituals, and social hierarchies. This volume presents racing not as a mere sporting pastime but as a complex tribal society with its own unwritten rules, status symbols, and insider language. Fox's accessible approach to ethnographic research reveals how the racing world functions as a microcosm of British social behaviour, examining everything from dress codes and conduct to the relationships between different strata within the racing community. The work challenges conventional assumptions about where anthropological study takes place, demonstrating that fascinating cultural phenomena exist within familiar domestic contexts. Ideal for readers interested in British culture, social anthropology, subcultures, and the hidden structures that govern communities.
