This is a story of insiders and outsiders. Author Christopher
Merrett uses physical recreation as a lens through which to view
the political, social, economic, and cultural history of the South
African city of Pietermaritzburg. He traces successive ideologies
of imperialism, colonial segregation, and apartheid to show how
sport was used to keep communities apart. Sport in Pietermaritzburg
was 'white sport.' After the imposition of legislation, access to
recreation facilities became a powerful cause for the city's
anti-apartheid coalition. Sport provided an opportunity, one of the
few in a police state, for meaningful protest. Sport, Space and
Segregation provides an insight into the psychology of racism.
