Book Synopsis Sport and Apartheid South Africa by : Michelle M. Sikes
Download or read book Sport and Apartheid South Africa written by Michelle M. Sikes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As athletes of today grapple with how to use their public platforms to fight for activist causes, Sport and Apartheid South Africa: Histories of Politics, Power, and Protest examines a set of longer histories of sport, ‘race’, and activism. The book seeks to uncover and understand new historical aspects of apartheid and sport, challenge myths, and rethink dominant narratives. It examines the subject of racially segregated sport in South Africa from national and transnational perspectives, asking questions about how athletes and administrators, transnational anti-apartheid groups and activists, and politicians around the world interpreted and internalized racial segregation in South Africa. By connecting the local to the global, this book illuminates the ways in which apartheid sport animated national and international debates, ranging from racism and human rights to Cold War politics and post-colonialism. Sport and Apartheid South Africa is a significant new contribution to the study of race and politics in sport and will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of History, Politics, International Relations, Sociology, and Political Geography. The chapters in this book were originally published in The International Journal of the History of Sport.
Download or read book Pitch Battles written by Peter Hain and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There will be a black Springbok over my dead body.” — Dr Danie Craven, President of the South African Rugby Board, 1969 Just a year after the controversial D’Oliveira affair, the organised disruption of the all-white 1969/70 South African rugby and cricket tours to Britain represented a significant challenge to apartheid politics. Led by future cabinet minister Peter Hain, the ‘Stop the Seventy Tour’ campaign brought about the cancellation of both tours, presaging white South Africa’s expulsion from the Olympics and the end of apartheid sport altogether. With his brand of attention-grabbing, direct action sports protest, the 19-year-old Hain emerged as a hero to some and enemy to others. Now, reflecting on these experiences with fifty years of hindsight, Lord Hain, together with South Africa’s foremost sports historian and fellow anti-apartheid activist André Odendaal, shows how decades of relentless international and domestic campaigning for equality led to a Springbok team captained by black athlete Siya Kolisi winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Interspersing a wide range of examples with personal testimony, Pitch Battles explores the themes of sport, globalisation and resistance from the deep past to the present day. Published in the same year as the Stop The Tour documentary from acclaimed director Louis Myles, this compelling story of sacrifice, struggle and triumph reveals how sport should never be divorced from politics or society’s values.

Book Synopsis Sport Past and Present in South Africa by : Scarlett Cornelissen
Download or read book Sport Past and Present in South Africa written by Scarlett Cornelissen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Synopsis Sport, Cultures, and Identities in South Africa by : John Nauright
Download or read book Sport, Cultures, and Identities in South Africa written by John Nauright and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meanings attached to sports in South African societies, past and present, are explored in this book, which focuses particularly on the part played by the prominent team sports of rugby, soccer and cricket in the creation of social divisions and unities over the course of South African history. In the past, only white South Africans could represent "South Africa" in international sport. Now, formerly white-dominated sports have been promoted as unifying forces for a nation in the process of forging a new national identity. The book considers the history and changing meanings attached to particular sports in the old and new South Africas, and how sport is being used and abused today.

Book excerpt: In recent years the interest in the patterns and policies of South African sport has grown. This book examines the increasingly complex issue of race, class and sport in the context of South African social relations. The author disputes evaluations made purely on the question of race, maintaining that it is important to examine the complex interaction between racial and class dynamics as a background for understanding the South African way of life. The book demonstrates that sport must be understood in the context of the ensemble of social relations characterizing the South African social formation.

Book Synopsis The Struggles to Deracialise South African Sport by : Philani Nongogo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines struggles to deracialise South African sport. In the Colonial era and under Apartheid, sport has been racialised in South Africa, due to being entwined with the colour bar and later, the Apartheid political system. The struggles for political freedom and non-racial sport were therefore intertwined. These struggles evolved in methods and tactics with time given their duration and complexity. This thesis aims to undertake a historical overview of the struggles to deracialise South African sport, which culminated into the sport boycott in the 1970s. This is critical for history teaches people respect for insights from the past.1 Britain, South Africa’s strategic partner, became the main target of black people’s2 diplomatic efforts after 1910. By the late 1940s and 1950s, hopes for British support had shifted to the United Nations (UN) and its new African member States and the Olympic Movement. Inside South Africa, the Liberation Movement and the Non-Racial Sport Movement (NRSM) begun to emerge as a coherent force. The NRSM approached and petitioned the International sport Federations (IFs), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and local white-only sport bodies. South Africa’s official participation in the Olympic Games between 1908 and 1960 “excluded” black sportspersons in its teams and the struggles to challenge the status quo were initiated in the 1940s and were intensified in the 1950s. These struggles were halted in the early 1990s, paving the way for South Africa’s controversial re-admission into the Olympic family in 1992. Literature surveyed outlines the struggle to deracialise South African sport and an analysis of the impact of the latter on South Africa’s transforming sport landscape and society was undertaken. This study is grounded in a qualitative, historical and descriptive research design, with the aim of generating a body of literature and contextualising the sport struggles and the subsequent sport boycott campaigns. The latter was undertaken against the backdrop of the transition; from the era that was characteristic of application of Colour-bar and Apartheid sport policies and practices thereof, to the era of the ideal - egalitarian, non-racial and social democratic sport landscape.
