Book Reviews: The Soccer Tribe by Desmond Morris, London: Jonathan Cape, 1981, pp 320, £12.50 'There has been an extraordinary revival of some of the crudest forms of social Darwinism, with emphasis on the inherent and controlling force of the aggressive Instinct, the territorial imperative, the genetically determined hunter, the lower 'beast' brain and so on. These crude evasions of historical and cultural variation, these even cruder rationalisations of the crises of the imperialist and capitalist social order, have to be patiently analysed and refuted, point by point. (Raymond Williams, 1978, p 10).'
