Mixing Sports with Politics (War Minus the Shooting by Mike Marqusee)

Update: 2022-01-31

Description

In this episode, we review Mike Marquesee's cricket classic, War Minus The Shooting, recently republished by @81allout. We discuss Mike's phenomenal and at times prophetic reading of subcontinental cricket and its society. Also, how the author identifies strands of majoritarian nationalism and its presence in everything around the 1996 Cricket World Cup. All this while enjoying the sport itself.

We'd like to thank the @81allout podcast for introducing us to the book.
