Cricket and Society in South Africa, 1910-1971 : From Union to Isolation Paperback / softback
Edited by Bruce Murray, Richard Parry, Jonty Winch
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Sport and Politics series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores how cricket in South Africa was shaped by society and society by cricket. It demonstrates the centrality of cricket in the evolving relationship between culture, sport and politics starting with South Africa as the beating heart of the imperial project and ending with the country as an international pariah. The contributors explore the tensions between fragmentation and unity, on and off the pitch, in the context of the racist ideology of empire, its ‘arrested development’ and the reliance of South Africa on a racially based exploitative labour system.
This edited collection uncovers the hidden history of cricket, society, and empire in defining a multiplicity of South African identities, and recognises the achievements of forgotten players and their impact.
