Book Description
Excerpt from The Memorial Biography of Dr. W. G. Grace Although it falls to my lot to Open the innings of the great side that has been gathered to do justice to the Champion's memory, as generally happens the Introduction is the very last portion of the book to be written. Therefore it seems to me that everything has been stated, and yet it behoves me to contribute my Share when others have so generously given Of their best. Ever Since I can remember, cricket was my greatest hobby, and looking back to my earliest boyhood it seems to me that cricket and Grace were synonymous. For nobody ever spoke Of cricket without alluding to W. G. He symbolized cricket for every one who began to play after he became champion. He even attracted many to watch him who under no other circumstances would have thought of witnessing a match.

Beyond a Boundary
Author: Cyril Lionel Robert James
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 9780822313830
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
In C. L. R. James's classic Beyond a Boundary, the sport is cricket and the scene is the colonial West Indies. Always eloquent and provocative, James--the "black Plato," (as coined by the London Times)--shows us how, in the rituals of performance and conflict on the field, we are watching not just prowess but politics and psychology at play. Part memoir of a boyhood in a black colony (by one of the founding fathers of African nationalism), part passionate celebration of an unusual and unexpected game, Beyond a Boundary raises, in a warm and witty voice, serious questions about race, class, politics, and the facts of colonial oppression. Originally published in England in 1963 and in the United States twenty years later (Pantheon, 1983), this second American edition brings back into print this prophetic statement on race and sport in society.
