Arbroath is a remarkable Scottish town. It can be one of the coldest places in Christendom when the wind is coming from the wrong direction, as anyone who has ever been to a cricket match at Lochlands at the start of the season can testify, and it has often been a source of wonder to many visiting supporters that Gayfield has not been swept away by the angry North Sea.
The town punches away above its weight in terms of history. The Declaration...

The years 1951 to 1964 were years of undeniable prosperity and progress. They were the years in which Conservative Governments decided not to dismantle Labour's National Health Service and Welfare State, and for this they must be given a certain amount of credit.

The South African tour of 1960 was far from ordinary. The world was waking up to the evils of apartheid after the Sharpeville massacre, and there was cricketing controversy in the 'no-balling' of Geoff Griffin, a young and talented Springbok fast bowler. All this took place before the all-seeing eyes of the new medium of television.
Remembering Enslavement explores plantation museums as sites for contesting and reforming public interpretations of slavery in the American South. Emerging out of a three-year National Science Foundation grant (2014-17), the book turns a critical eye toward the growing inclusion of the formerly enslaved within these museums, specifically examining advances but also continuing inequalities in how they narrate and memorialize the formerly enslav...
