For anyone who wants to get a sense of the relations between the sport of
cricket and the postcolonial condition, read C. L. R. James' book <Beyond a
Boundary.>  A briefer and very interesting discussion of cricket as art and
as political allegory is in his 1963 essay 'What is Art?' reprinted in <The
C. L. R. James Reader>, ed. by Anna Grimshaw (Blackwell, 1992).  James was
>from Trinidad and, along with Fanon and Cesaire was one of the most important
Caribbean radicals and theorists.
