{"product_id":"cricket-and-society-in-south-bruce-murray-9783319936079","title":"Cricket and Society in South Africa, 1910-1971: From Union to Isolation","description":"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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Murray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319936077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319936079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.94d","brand":"Bruce Murray","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089111396607,"sku":"9783319936079","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7ebbb33-f809-4e0f-b066-d17824114544.jpg?v=1769108245","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cricket-and-society-in-south-bruce-murray-9783319936079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
