Description
Feeling that cricket in South Africa still suffers from the legacies of apartheid, the authors (three South African academics and a selector for the KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union) narrate the history of non-white cricket from 1880 to 2002, challenging the "Great Story" of South African critic with many stories of Indian, African, Malay, and multi-racial cricket in Durban and surrounding areas of Natal. The story emphasizes both the sporting accomplishments of the cricket players, as well as the political and social struggles that surrounded their play. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
