Title: Dancing on our bones
Description: Dancing on Our Bones traces the history of opposition to playing sport with South Africa from an early 1921 Springboks versus Māori rugby match onwards. In this vivid account of a sport dominated by the politics of apartheid, Trevor Richards asks: what does an issue that sparked so much controversy over so many years tell us about ourselves? Richards, who as leader of Halt All Racist Tours for 23 years was a principal actor in the drama, brings a unique perspective to the subject. His account is compelling and his challenge on the issue of racism in this or any country remains unsettling.
