The team was known as the 'Dhiraj' squad, after national champion Jasmat Dhiraj. "Tennis, Apartheid and Social Justice" records the political, social and sporting conditions associated with the 1971 tour, the adventures of the talented young black tennis players, the impact of the tour on them and the lessons learned. It documents the collusion of international tennis associations with the racist white-only South African tennis body that prevented a Dhiraj squad member, Hoosen Bobat, the opportunity to play in the Junior Wimbledon championships. The book contends that there has been neither recognition of nor reparations for outstanding apartheid-era black sportspersons and that the apartheid legacy continues to impinge powerfully on tennis today." -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index 650 0 $a Recreation $z South Africa $x Tennis. 650 0 $a Tennis players $z South Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Tennis $x Tournaments $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Race discrimination $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Race discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086465 650 7 $a Tennis players. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01147686 650 7 $a Tennis $x Tournaments. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01147642 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a South African Lawn Tennis Union. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015429.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F80A1EF23D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
