This book provides an interpretation of sport in contemporary South
Africa through an historical account of the evolution and social
ramifications of sport in the twentieth century. It comprises
chapters which trace the growth of sports such as football,
cricket, surfing, boxing and rugby, and considers their
relationship to aspects of racial identity, masculinity,
femininity, political and social development in the country. The
book also draws out the wider geo-political significance of South
African sport, placing it in the context of the development of
sport both elsewhere on the African continent and internationally.
The history of sport has seen significant international growth over
the past few decades. For the most part, however, the history of
sport in Africa has remained largely untraced. By detailing the way
in which sport's development in South Africa overlapped with major
socio-political processes on the wider African continent, this
volume seeks to narrow the gap. This book was previously published
as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of
Sport.
