A Corner of a Foreign Field Paperback book

A Corner of a Foreign Field

by Ramachandra Guha

A book that interweaves biography with history, the lives of cricketers with wider processes of social change. C.K. Nayudu and Sachin Tendulkar naturally figure in this book, but so too do Mahatma Gandhi and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The Indian careers of the English cricketers, Lord Harris and D.R. Jardine, provide a window into the operations of Empire. The life of India's first great slow bowler, Palwankar Baloo, introduces the reader to the still-unfinished struggle against caste discrimination. Later chapters explore the competition between Hindu and Muslim cricketers in colonial India and the passions now provoked when India plays Pakistan. This book is a meditation on the ramifications of sport in society at large, and how sport can influence both social and political history.

Not since C.L. R James wrote 'Beyond The Boundary' has anyone managed to fuse Cricket, with social and cultural history until now. In this fascinating work, Guha examines how a English village game, brought to India by the British Imperial rulers of India; should have been so embraced by the Indian population as a whole. Embraced to such a degree, that it has become the 'national sport' like no other. It is perhaps the most important book on the complex relationship between sport, history, politics and culture written in modern times. The book itself is in pristine condition. Spine and covers all excellent. Pages tight, clean and unmarked. A unique and seminal work of history. I offer a no questions asked returns and refunds policy on book value if returned within thirty days of delivery.
