Book Description
A game came out of Africa to the New World, an ancient game brought to the Caribbean sugarcane plantations by enslaved Africans in the seventeenth century. The game resembles a blend of cricket and baseball but is played with sticks. My brother and I learned the game when our family moved to a small sugarcane mill town in Cuba. There we met Don Manuel, an Afro-Cuban elder who worked as a security guard at the railroad yard. This narrative chronicles my coming of age in a unique hybrid culture while learning the ancient African game of Kimbumba and my childhood memories linked to Don Manuel's stories and teaching of the game. Don Manuel told us about the game's origins and the legend of its creator, Kimbu. The story has been passed down through oral tradition to generations of young African Congo villagers. I've always wanted to write about these pivotal years of my youth and tell the game's story, but more significantly, I've always wanted to share the stories that our Afro-Cuban friend told my brother and me. But life has a way of delaying our goals; thus, it has taken me nearly seventy years to write this narrative.Don Manuel's family roots are traced back to the African Congo, where they were abducted and brought to Cuba to work as enslaved people on sugarcane plantations. The story is his intimate account of their sacrifices to gain their freedom. He also taught us to play this ancient game, culminating in a blazing championship match in a sugarcane mill town. All of these experiences are woven into the tapestry of my youth. So, I have attempted to capture fleeting moments that might otherwise be lost in time, like raindrops in the ocean.

Book Description
Cricket has been subject to a number of changes over the last twenty years. We can no longer talk of a sport particular to an out-dated English way of life. Cricket has become global and has to exist within the global environment. Primarily the world game has become commercialised. This collection of essays assesses the developments within major playing nations between the World Cups. Do we now live in a world where commercialism is the primary factor in determining sports, or are wider historical prejudices still evident? Seeking to answer these questions, Cricket, Race & the 2007 World Cup focuses on racial and ethnic tensions and their place in the new globalized, cricketing environment. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Book Description
This book provides an interpretation of sport in contemporary South Africa through an historical account of the evolution and social ramifications of sport in the twentieth century. It comprises chapters which trace the growth of sports such as football, cricket, surfing, boxing and rugby, and considers their relationship to aspects of racial identity, masculinity, femininity, political and social development in the country. The book also draws out the wider geo-political significance of South African sport, placing it in the context of the development of sport both elsewhere on the African continent and internationally. The history of sport has seen significant international growth over the past few decades. For the most part, however, the history of sport in Africa has remained largely untraced. By detailing the way in which sport’s development in South Africa overlapped with major socio-political processes on the wider African continent, this volume seeks to narrow the gap. This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.

Book Description
Sports in African History, Politics, and Identity Formation explores how sports can render a key to unlocking complex social, political, economic, and gendered relations across Africa and the Diaspora. Sports hold significant value and have an intricate relationship with many components of African societies throughout history. For many Africans, sports are a way of life, a site of cultural heroes, a way out of poverty and social mobility, and a site for leisurely play. This book focuses on the many ways in which sports uniquely reflect changing cultural trends at diverse levels of African societies. The contributors detail various sports, such as football, cricket, ping pong, and rugby, across the continent to show how sports lay at the heart of the discourse of nationalism, self-fashioning, gender and masculinity, leisure and play, challenges of underdevelopment, and ideas of progress. Bringing together the newest and most innovative scholarship on African sports, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of contemporary Africa, African history, culture and society, and sports history and politics.
