Beyond a boundary
Synopsis
C. L. R. James's seminal work explores the intersection of cricket, colonialism, and identity in the West Indies. Part autobiography, part historical analysis, the book uses the sport as a lens to examine social conditions, political struggles, and the broader history of the region. It offers a unique perspective on how sport reflects and shapes society, particularly in a post-colonial context.
