Book Description:

In June 1928, the West Indies played their first Test match against a strong and confident England. These cricket pioneers constituted the most powerful and only unifying symbol of the nation West Indians were just beginning to imagine. In an important way, then, this book is an account of a politically organised community seeking detachment from the colonial scaffold with all its intense desire and deep internal division.
