{"product_id":"9781067235314","title":"Haasan Howa: No Normal Sport","description":"Hassan Howa, cricketer and anti-apartheid sports activist, refused to separate sport from political struggle. There could be no normal sport in abnormal times.\r\n\r\nHowa was a founding member of the South African Cricket Board of Control (SACBOC) in 1947, which sought to promote cricket among the dispossessed and oppressed. Throughout his tenure he became a known for championing movements for equality and non-racial sport. In his time there he led the organisation in a campaign against ‘white’ cricket which helped ensure the Springboks were banned from international cricket.\r\n\r\nWhile sport in South Africa is now seen and known as a key unifier this wasn’t always the case. There was a time when sports were the poster child for the apartheid regime’s façade of a peaceful South Africa. Howa and the people he worked with went to lengths to break that façade.","brand":"PUBLISHER STOCK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510573588595,"sku":"9781067235314","price":340.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/HASSAN-HOWA-HR-scaled.jpg?v=1789638297","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9781067235314","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
