Description
Summary:	How did the 'quintessentially English' game of cricket come to be so important across Britain's Caribbean empire? Interweaving extensive archival and oral history research into an engaging, often surprising narrative about empire and postwar Britain, 'Windrush Cricket' challenges a range of orthodoxies, arguing that cricket constituted a foundational, yet almost entirely ignored aspect of the way in which Windrush migrants settled and made new lives in postwar England.
