The South African past is rich with stories of courage, initiative and endeavour which have never become history because they are the stories of those excluded from power. This book seeks to transform some of these stories into history: in this case into the history of cricket in Natal, hitherto dominated by the official and the privileged.

The first of its kind for any sport in South Africa: a cricket love story of epic dimensions, full of sometimes shocking details. Cricket and Conquest fundamentally revises long-established foundational narratives of early South African cricket, reaching beyond whites-only mainstream histories to integrate at every stage and in every region the experiences of black, as well as women, players. In this book and its sequels, the authors reveal how racism came to be built into the very fabric of South African cricket's culture and traditions, and how the sport was tied to the broader historical processes that shaped the country.

When the Proteas play today, they bat for all South African cricketers―but there were once seven different cricket associations, each claiming to be to be "national." Divided Country continues the story begun in Cricket and Conquest, detailing not only how racism became so entrenched in South African cricket in 1914-1959, but also how segregation in the sport is tied to broader historical processes. The authors completely counter previous chronicles of South African cricket, showing how the game has an infinitely richer history than previously recorded. CONTENTS:
