Pitch Battles: Sport, racism and resistance
We’re in conversation with Prof Andre Odendaal, an Honorary Professor in History and Heritage Studies at the University of the Western Cape and a former first-class cricketer and anti-apartheid activist. Now he has authored and co-author dozens of books on the social history of sport and the history of the liberation struggle in South Africa, but today the focus is on a book titled of ‘Pitch Battles: Sport, racism and resistance’.
In this book, he and his co-author, Peter Hain, recall details of how five decades ago, in the British winter of 1969–70, mass demonstrations and field invasions during the whites-only South African Springbok rugby tour disrupted the cosy relationship between elites from the two nations and shone global attention on apartheid in sport.
