Jonty Winch traces the complicated history of South African rugby from its establishment in the Cape in 1879 through to the 2019 World Cup championship. As he explores key events and questions entrenched narratives, Winch opens a compelling new window on colonialism, apartheid, and the evolution of South African society.
Jonty Winch received a Master of Arts degree with distinction from De Montfort University's International Centre for Sports History and Culture, and was then awarded his Ph.D. from Stellenbosch University. He has balanced his career interests in photography, journalism and education with involvement in more than a dozen books on sporting history in southern Africa. His research has also led to articles on the game for accredited international academic publications, and winning the British Society of Sports History 'Best Article in Sport in History' in 2008. In recent years, he has played a prominent role in the task of recording a full history of South African cricket and placing the development of the game in political context. He co-authored Cricket & Conquest: The History of South African Cricket Retold 1795–1914 (2016); Cricket & Society in South Africa 1910-1971: From Union to Isolation (2018); and Too Black to Wear Whites: The Remarkable Story of Krom Hendricks, a Cricket Hero who was Rejected by Cecil John Rhodes's Empire (2020).
