The first of its kind for any sport in South Africa. A cricket love
story of epic dimensions with details which will blow readers away.
Cricket and Conquest goes back to the beginnings 221 years ago and
fundamentally revises long-established foundational narratives of
early South African cricket. It reaches beyond old whites-only
mainstream histories to integrate at every stage and in every
region the experiences of black and women cricketers. A purely
British military game at first, cricket accompanied the process of
colonial conquest every step of the way in the nineteenth century.
This book and its companion volumes explains how racism came to be
built into the very fabric of cricket's `culture' and `traditions',
and how it was uncannily tied to the broader historical processes
that shaped South Africa. The unique experiences of our different
cricket communities are described in ways that have not been done
before. The exhaustive research and inter-connections highlighted
here makes this a completely new general history of South African
cricket.
