Review "What is revealed in this highly stimulating grand sweep of history from Rhodes to Richards is far more than a chronology of events, rather a hidden history of a fractured society and a tribute to forgotten players and administrators and their impact on an evolving sport that possessed an extraordinary richness and diversity of talent."

From Union to Isolation, Buch, Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018, This book is a history of cricket in South Africa, and explores how cricket was shaped by society and society by cricket. It demonstrates the centrality of cricket in the evolving relationship between culture, sport and politics starting with South Africa as the beating heart of the imperial project and ending with the country as an international pariah. The contributors to this volume explore the tensions between fragmentation and unity, on and off the pitch, in the context of the racist ideology of empire, its 'arrested development' and the reliance of South Africa on a racially based exploitative labour system. This edited collection therefore uncovers the secret history of cricket, society, and empire in defining a multiplicity of South African identities, whether female, black, Indian, coloured, British or Afrikaner, and recognises the achievements of forgotten players and their aspirations, and the impact which players had on the South African state.
