Description: Danny Yee reviews CLR James' book on cricket and the West Indies.
Beyond a Boundary (C.L.R. James) - book review Duke University Press 1993 [1963] © 1998 http://dannyreviews.com/ blends personal memoir, social history, and sports commentary. James' subject is cricket and its role in his own life and in the history of the West Indies and England. He begins with the place of cricket in his family history, in his childhood and schooling in Trinidad, and in the social stratification of West Indian society. He then recounts his personal experiences of some of the great West Indian cricketers, among them George John, Wilton St Hill, and above all Learie Constantine, who was a personal friend. In the three essays on Constantine, James also discusses league cricket and his own move to England and involvement with West Indian politics.
