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.
