Produktbeschreibung
With analytical depth and cultural nuance, the author traces the journey of cricket from its imperial origins to its contemporary presence in digital media, global franchise leagues, and forward-looking innovations. Stumps and Sovereignty is not just a chronicle of matches or milestones; it is a study of how cricket has mediated identity, power, migration, and technology across South Asia and beyond. Spanning five centuries and multiple frontiers - from colonial outposts to streaming platforms, from Partition-era politics to hybrid cricket formats and the technological horizons of the 22nd century - the book offers a sweeping yet grounded narrative of cricket as a cultural force. It invites scholars, fans, and policymakers alike to reconsider the game's evolving role in shaping post-imperial society, digital belonging, and global imagination. "A meticulously researched deep dive where innovation, strategy, and culture coexist... the forward-facing look to the future is the best part."- Readers' Favorite "A book about cricket that's impressive and ambitious in scope and that largely succeeds in fusing together sport and politics without letting one overshadow the other. It could serve as a useful textbook for in-depth courses about the sport, especially one centered around South Asia"- Independent Book Review
