How did South Africa, a former pariah of the world, come to host
the 2010 World Cup? Laduma! answers this question by telling the
story of football in South Africa and how it was transformed from a
British colonial export into a central aspect of the black
experience. An immensely informative and vital account, the book
explores the Africanization of the game with the introduction of
rituals and magic, and the emergence of distinctive playing styles.
Using archival research, interviews, newspaper and magazine
articles, advertisements, and photos, Laduma! chronicles the impact
of indigenous sporting traditions, such as stick fighting, and the
power struggles between different football associations and white
authorities. Soccer influenced class and generational divisions,
shaped masculine identities, and served as a mobilizing force for
township and political organizations. This new, updated edition of
Laduma! embodies sporting history at its best and will be of
interest to ardent soccer fans as well as general readers and
scholars seeking to inform themselves ahead of the 2010 World Cup
in South Africa.
