'Umbhoxo, Making Rugby an Afrikan Game’, corrects myths that #Black#Africans started playing #rugby or introduced to the sport 30 yrs ago when #SouthAfrica gained independence & tells a tale of how this #sport helped many Africans escape the harsh realities of #colonialism & #apartheid.
The #book is a collaborative work by Philani Nongogo, Bantu Siwisa, Hendrik Snyders, and Mzukisi Twala. #Historical analysis of the history of black Africans in rugby since the 1820’s.
I'm buying 2 copies. One for my little free community library. The other is to gift to the Intercultural Assn in Victoria for their #BIPOC library/educational resources. I also plan to write to schools to ask if they can buy a copy for their school libraries. This is how I try to do grassroots, individual citizen action on getting more #POCbooks into public schools & free community libraries.
