About this product

Product Information

This new edition of C. L. R. James's classic Beyond a Boundary celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of one of the greatest books on sport and culture ever written. Named one of the Top 50 Sports Books of All Time by Sports Illustrated Beyond a Boundary ...should find its place on the team with Izaak Walton, Ivan Turgenev, A. J. Liebling, and Ernest Hemingway. -Derek Walcott, The New York Times Book Review As a player, James the writer was able to see in cricket a metaphor for art and politics, the collective experience providing a focus for group effort and individual performance...[In] his scintillating memoir of his life in cricket, Beyond a Boundary (1963), James devoted some of his finest pages to this theme. -Edward Said, The Washington Post A work of double reverence-for the resilient, elegant ritualism of cricket and for the black people of the world. -Whitney Balliett, The New Yorker Beyond a Boundary is a book of remarkable richness and force, which vastly expands our understanding of sports as an element of popular culture in the Western and colonial world. -Mark Naison, The Nation Everything James has done has had the mark of originality, of his own flexible, sensitive, and deeply cultured intelligence. He conveys not a rigid doctrine but a delight and curiosity in all the manifestations of life, and the clue to everything lies in his proper appreciation of the game of cricket. -E. P. Thompson, author of The Making of the English Working Class Beyond a Boundary is ...first and foremost an autobiography of a living legend-probably the greatest social theorist of our times. -Manning Marable, Journal of Sport & Social Issues The great triumph of Beyond a Boundary is its ability to rise above genre and in its very form explore the complex nature of colonial West Indian society. -Caryl Phillips, The New Republic
