From JacobsS at newschool.edu Mon Jul 1 15:07:39 2024 From: JacobsS at newschool.edu (Sean Jacobs) Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2024 13:07:39 -0000 Subject: [SAHS] [SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE] Of Interest / The Historiography of the South African Sports Boycott In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Abstract There is now a broad consensus that sports were central to the projects of imperialism, colonialism, and apartheid in South Africa, but that sports boycotts also played a significant part in apartheid?s downfall. The foundational histories of the sports boycott researched and written during apartheid are derived from two different but interrelated sources: accounts by leaders and activists and those by activist-academics and researchers. The second group included professional historians, political scientists, sociologists, and journalists. Since the late 1990s and into the first decades of the next century, revisionist histories of aspects of the sports boycott began to proliferate, revisiting events in major sports like the Olympic games, rugby, cricket, and soccer but also uncovering the histories of marginal sports. The work is, however, relegated largely to subfields like international and diplomatic history, conference sections on the history of sports, specialist journals, or via the revival of the memoir as a genre.
