What can be said about the changing role an d meaning of cricket as expressive of specifically West Indian identities in the twentieth century\, including for the immigrants who settled in Eng land after World War II? How has our understanding of cricket and its rela tion to identity been shaped by the wider historiography of anti-colonial nationalism and the post-colonial diaspora\, as well as the outsized influ ence of the Trinidadian writer C. L. R. James? Finally\, in what sense can cricket be said to have “remade” postwar England?\n\nNow in its 29th year \, the MBHS provides a forum for faculty and graduate students sharing a r esearch interest in any phase of British History (very broadly defined). P apers of about 45-50 minutes or pre-circulated papers are followed by disc ussion.
