The race to transform: Sport in post-apartheid South Africa takes
stock of sport in South Africa, and provides a pioneering
exploration of how sport reflects matters such as enduring
inequality, racial transformation and the making (or otherwise) of
a common South African destiny. To date, much sports writing has
been celebratory, paying attention to 'big' moments like the
winning of the Rugby World Cups, and hosting the Soccer World Cup
in 2010. With the lens focused on national teams, there has been
less emphasis on how South Africa's transition has impacted on
township sport. This title provides a view on the relationship
between elite and grassroots sport in the context of growing
economic disparities and the emergence of an influential black
middle and super-rich class. Divided into chapters delving into a
diverse set of sporting codes, The Race to Transform enlivens and
transcends the technical debates and contestations around
transformation that have become such a prominent part of sports
discourse. The contributors, a mix of activist intellectuals and
those directly involved in the game, outline an agenda for both
theory and practice in the ongoing debate about sport and
transformation in South Africa. Every sports lover who realises the
power of politics and economics over his or her beloved game must
read this title. Written in a style that is accessible and
interesting, it is essential reading also for administrators,
social scientists and people with an interest in social change.
