Description

Explore a unique side of social anthropology with The Racing Tribe: Portrait of a British Subculture. Published by Routledge, this book offers a fresh perspective on field research. While many anthropologists travel to remote locations to study isolated tribes, Kate Fox turns her attention to the fascinating world of British horseracing. Through her observations at racetracks, Fox identifies a complex subculture with its own set of distinctive customs and rituals. Instead of studying primitive sanitation or harsh climates, she engages with the specific social behaviors found within the racing community. This study provides a detailed look at how a seemingly amorphous crowd actually functions as a structured group with shared traditions. Whether you are a student of sociology or simply interested in human behavior, this volume provides a different way to view ethnographic studies. It moves away from traditional settings to examine the social dynamics of a well-known British pastime, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the study of modern subcultures.
