In an effort to understand how the absences of the colonial subject
in sport were engineered and how colonial narratives became fixed
in the literature and minds of South Africans, Exploring
Decolonising Themes in SA Sport History: Issues and Challenges
attempts a full-scale restructuring and rewriting of the history of
sport in South Africa to include black South Africans, and thereby
places them on the forefront of a colonial history. The book
includes the articulations of academic researchers, professionals
and retired sportspeople who were requested to explore their unique
areas of interest in sport from the perspective of themes in South
African sport history. They place themselves at the centre of
discourses that dispel myths that blacks had no sport significance
prior to 1994. The book ultimately challenges this spirit of the
past where there was only one narrative – a white male sport
tradition. Rather than adapting past colonial and apartheid
narratives, this work seeks to fundamentally replace and supersede
them.
