The story of an African Game is a ground-breaking history of black
South African cricket that debunks the myth that blacks have no
cricketing culture or history to speak of. Published at a time when
South African cricket is forced, by disappointing results and
ongoing transformation issues, to take a hard look at itself and
where it is going, Story of an African Game is essential reading
for a proper understanding of the game in this country. The title
lies not simply in its central argument - that cricket grew and
thrived in black communities in the Eastern Cape from as early as
the 1850s until the ravages of apartheid all but destroyed it - but
in the vivid documentary evidence provided by the author. Over 200
photographs graphically depict the game in African communities and
show how in many respects it closely mirrored cricket's development
in 'white' South Africa and in other British colonies such as
India, the West Indies and Australia.
