    They Gave The Crowd Plenty Fun: West Indian Cricket and its Relationship with the British-Resident Caribbean Diaspora

    • Original Book (350g)£10.00
      Out of print paperback in good condition ex library with stamps and plastic cover

    In 1950, the West Indies cricket team beat England for the first time on English soil. West Indian cricket continued to provide a source of self-esteem for West Indians and their descendants in Britain. Whether they were passionate cricket fans or not, cricket offered some of the growing diaspora an opportunity to express a collective sense of Caribbean identity. Colin Babb reflects on events which influenced the social impact of cricket on British-resident Caribbean communities from the beginning of mass Caribbean migration to Britain after the Second World War.
