Sport and politics in Croatia - Athletes as National Icons in History Textbook
Sport has often been considered primarily as an entertainment. Because of this, its various cultural influences on daily life are often ignored. However, the importance of sport in the global economy and its association with various industries and media points to its growing influence in modern society. Sports mega-events, in particular the Olympic Games and the football World Cup, are obvious examples. In this paper we shall not deal with multiple connections between sport and social processes, but we shall focus on the relationship between sport and politics in the education system. The aim of this study is to determine the selection and interpretation of sporting events used in education through the content analysis of Croatian history textbooks, published in the period from 1918 to present (2015). In the end we have analysed 51 textbooks. Our focus was mainly on the manner in which individual and team successes of Croatian athletes have been used in the process of (re)construction of national identity through history textbooks.
