  • One of the Enduring Legacies of British Colonialism Has Been the Institutionalization of British Sports in the Former Colonies
    One of the enduring legacies of British colonialism has been the institutionalization of British sports in the former colonies. This is nowhere better reflected tfisn in South Africa. The British garrison which took control of the Cape in 1806 during the Napoleonic wars, and the thousands of administrators and settlers who follornd, brought with them sports like horse racing, hunting and cricket, and soon infl-d the indigenous people into adopting them. By the end of the nineteenth century sport had become an important social institution and, fitting in with the structure and relations of Empire, South Africa was emerging as a major international sporting nation. Today, as the front-page headlines of the national nevspapers regularly indicate, sport occupies a central position in South African life and has become a major issue in the country's domestic and international relations. The development of sport in South Africa during the nineteenth century was closely linked to colonial politics and reflected in many ways in microcosm the developing South African colonial society and social structures. This could be seen on the institutional level in the organizational structures that developed, in the value systems that became entrenched in sport, in African responses to colonialism in the role of sport in the process of African class formation, and in the way the devgelopment of sport closely followed the pattern of historical development in South Africa. This chapter aims to demonstrate the close connections between sport, politics and social class in South Africa during the first century of British colonial rule by means of a case study outlfning the, as yet, largely unknown early history of African cricket in South Africa.

I gauge models of contrasts in monetary fulfilment between household partners utilizing board information from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study, which permits one to account for family level fixed impacts. The paper adds to the writing a further convincing rejection of the equivalent dividing speculation. Also and novel, the outcomes suggest that unequal income dividing is topsy-turvy and set off by the relative business situations with the partners in male provider families, the ladies' prosperity is influenced by the dissemination factor; in double full-time couples, it is the man's prosperity. KEYWORDS:- Income pooling; abstract prosperity; male provider; sex breadwinning standards amazingly show that the intra-family INTRODUCTION appropriation of income impacts the dispersion of individual income in a society and, in this way, By One issue with the investigations of individual the degree and surprisingly more the design of income dissemination is that families are the unit neediness, which is obviously an issue of policy of perception, while people are the unit of

  • Kent County Cricketers a to Z
    Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919-1939 By Derek Carlaw Statistics by John Winnifrith This collection of biographies have been written, on behalf of the ACS, by Derek Carlaw. For those readers wishing to obtain more detailed statistical information, it is recommended that a search is undertaken on the relevant pages of the CricketArchive website ( http://cricketarchive.com/ ). Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919 to 1939 Introduction Part Two of the Kent A to Z covers the 92 cricketers who made their entry into first-class cricket for Kent between the wars. With 12 Championship titles, 330 wins and only 49 defeats, Yorkshire dominated throughout the two decades, but Kent could reasonably claim to be the most successful of the Southern counties, twice ending runners-up and in only three seasons failing to finish in the top half of the table. During those inter-war years, cricket was becoming increasingly professional. Of the names listed in the county averages in the 1921 Wisden, over 57% were amateurs. By 1931 the figure had fallen to 41%; and in the last pre-war season it was down to 33%. Kent, in common with one or two other counties, fought hard against the prevailing trend. Throughout the period, they stuck to their long- established policy of endeavouring to field a minimum of three amateurs in every match. In practice, they were quite frequently unable to do so, especially early in the season but, of the 92 cricketers listed in the following pages, 60, i.e. over 65%, were, in the idiom of the time, ‘Gentlemen’.
