Book Description

#BlackLivesMatter protests and campaigns for gender equality highlight how systemic racism and inequality have for so long been inextricably intertwined with sport. No more so than the 'Stop the Seventy Tour' campaign led by Peter Hain which forced the unprecedented cancellation of the whites-only South African cricket tour of England in 1970.
