| Resumen: |
Este libro explora cómo el cricket en Sudáfrica fue moldeado por la sociedad y la sociedad por el cricket. Demuestra la centralidad del cricket en la evolución de la relación entre cultura, deporte y polÃtica, comenzando con Sudáfrica como el corazón palpitante del proyecto imperial y terminando con el paÃs como un paria internacional. Los colaboradores exploran las tensiones entre fragmentación y unidad, dentro y fuera de la cancha, en el contexto de la ideologÃa racista del imperio, su "desarrollo detenido" y la dependencia de Sudáfrica de un sistema laboral explotador de base racial. Esta colección editada descubre la historia oculta del cricket, la sociedad y el imperio al definir una multiplicidad de identidades sudafricanas y reconoce los logros de los jugadores olvidados y su impacto. . |

| Summary : |
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. . |
