Led by future cabinet minister Peter Hain, the 'Stop the Seventy Tour' campaign brought about the cancellation of both tours, presaging white South Africa's expulsion from the Olympics and the end of apartheid sport altogether. With his brand of attention-grabbing, direct action sports protest, the 19-year-old Hain emerged as a hero to some and enemy to others. Now, reflecting on these experiences with fifty years of hindsight, Lord Hain, together with South Africa's foremost sports historian and fellow anti-apartheid activist Andr Odendaal, shows how decades of relentless international and domestic campaigning for equality led to a Springbok team captained by black athlete Siya Kolisi winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Interspersing a wide range of examples with personal testimony, Pitch Battles explores the themes of sport, globalisation and resistance from the deep past to the present day. Published in the same year as the Stop The Tour documentary from acclaimed director Louis Myles, this compelling story of sacrifice, struggle and triumph reveals how sport should never be divorced from politics or society's values."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Racism in sports $z South Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sports $x History $z South Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z South Africa $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Civil rights movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862708 650 7 $a Racism in sports. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086664 650 7 $a Sports $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130493 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Odendaal, Andre, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=204A8976BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
