About This Item
(Cape Town: BestRed, 2016) 9781928246138. 234 x 168 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. xix + (i) + 467, incl. index; plates. Fine condition. "Cricket and Conquest is simply the finest book ever written about sport in South Africa. It should sit alongside the works of CLR James and Ramachandra Guha in the library of every cricket lover. For the first time Odendaal, Reddy, Merrett and Winch tell the complete and unvarnished story of South African cricket: black and white and people called coloured, male and female. They have left no archive unexamined and no story unscrutinised in their quest for the truth. This book is not only a major work of scholarship, it is a work of passion: for cricket, for social justice and for a history that includes all those who ever swung a bat or bowled a ball." - Prof Tony Collins, former Director of the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Montfort University .
