Text of Note

This article analyses the socio-cultural meaning of cricket in the Caribbean, both on and off the field of play, within the context of the social forces at work in the colonial (1492-1838), post-'emancipation' (1838-1960) and post-'independence' (1960s onwards) periods. Correspondingly, the theological perspectives relative to the social forces at work off the field of play and the style of play on the field are accounted for. Cricket is used here as the cultural symbol of British imperialism in the Caribbean and the impetus for Caribbean people's quest for self-identity and self-determination.
