Hi Simon1252! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
I came across your project via the edits of other people, and was pointed towards you by Oline73. However the project ends up being organised on wikipedia (and I am not involved in the education projects at all, so don't know the correct process), I would make a couple of (non-wikipedia) suggestions. I'm not familiar with your main text, but I have watched "Fire in Babylon", which really only has part of the story and dismisses West Indies cricket before 1976 as lightweight. There was far more to it (and I don't mean from a cricket viewpoint, but a political one) than the film even hints at. Second, I cannot recommend highly enough Beyond a Boundary by C. L. R. James. I imagine this would tick many, many of your boxes even given its age. Hope this helps, and good luck. Sarastro1 ( talk) 18:14, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks very much for these suggestions -- we will in fact be discussing some excerpts from CLR James' book in class next week. I find the political consciousness of the West Indian cricketers of the 70s to be very compelling, and would welcome any further ideas for how to follow the thread in an earlier period Simon1252 ( talk) 17:29, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
