Booth, Douglas
ROBERT CHAPPELL - BRUNEL UNI -"This important book deserves a place on the
shelf of all university libraries, as it is an excellent addition to those
books already available."
New Zealand International Review- " Booth traces the development and
changes in racial attitudes in South Africa, particularly with regard to
sport, from the 19th century" - whilst reading it, the thought that was
"never far away...was how useful this book would have been thirty years ago
for those of us who were on the anti-apartheid campaign trail".
Choice - November 1998
"His book is recommended reading for all interested in sport as a crucial
player, not only in sociocultural development, but in nation building."
African Affairs: The Jnl of the Royal African Society- " " The Race Game is
both a scholarly and a readble history of sport...A major strength of the
work is the sharp analysis of the changing relationship between sport and
politics from 1948 to the collapse of apartheid, including an excelllent
reappraisal of the development and contribution of the anti-apartheid
international sports boycott.
Ethnic and Racial Studies-" In an illuminating and often invigorating
exposition of the process through which race and national identities have
shaped the political development of sport, Douglas Booth provides a history
of the complex interplay between sport, race and class relations in South
Africa...It is abundantly clear that in sport, the years of political,
racial and class divisions in South Africa will not be solved overnight,
and Douglas Booth is to be commended for articulating and chronicling the
reasons why in such a forthright and succinct manner."

"Booth is supplying an in-depth and wide ranging critique of the politics
surrounding South African sport since the 1960s. His work is built on an
intricate knowledge of the specific sporting history of his topic, of the
key figures and organisations ... In all his coverage Booth shows a solid
understanding of the politics of South Africa, both black and white, and
offers a sensible critique and assessment of the policy of sports boycott."
The International Journal of the History of Sport
"essential reading for anyone with an interest in the socio-political or
cultural history of South Africa...a seminal work in its field"
Nationalism and Ethnic Politics:
"a perceptive historical analysis... an excellent resource for anyone
interested in racial politics of Southern Africa".
