About This Item
Second American edition of illuminating work on cricket in the colonial West Indies by influential Trinidadian historian, novelist, cultural and political critic, and activist C.L.R. James (1901-1989) who also worked as cricket correspondent with The Manchester Guardian.
Synopsis
Beyond a Boundary (1963) is a memoir on cricket written by the Trinidadian Marxist intellectual C. L. R. James. It mixes social commentary, particularly on the place of cricket in the West Indies and England, with commentary on the game, arguing that what happened inside the "Boundary Line" in cricket affected life beyond it, as well as the converse. The book is the origin of the famous phrase, "What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?"
