Beyond a boundary
Book • 1963
Published in 1963, 'Beyond a Boundary' is neither a traditional cricket memoir nor an autobiography.
It blends discussions of cricket matches, the history of the game in Trinidad and England, and its cultural significance.
James argues that cricket is an art form that embodies and dramatically expresses the collective aspirations of a society.
The book explores the intersection of sports, culture, and politics, particularly in the context of colonial West Indian society and the decolonization movement.
