Description

Explore the complex relationship between sport and society with this important study from Routledge. Cricket and National Identity in the Postcolonial Age: Following On moves beyond the simple idea of a gentle game played on English village greens. Instead, it offers a serious political and historical look at how cricket functions in the twenty-first century. This book brings together leading international writers to examine the culture, politics, governance, and economics of the sport. It specifically looks at the postcolonial life of major Test-playing countries, providing deep insights into how the game shapes identity in a modern world. Readers will gain a better understanding of the game's development across diverse regions and its impact on national character. Whether you are studying sociology, history, or international relations, this volume provides a necessary perspective on the sport's role in the new Commonwealth and beyond. It is an essential resource for understanding the global reach and societal influence of one of the world's most significant sports.
