The official launch of the groundbreaking book\u00a0Cricket, Race, and Economics in West Indian Society: Where a Bat, a Ball, and a People\u2019s Destiny Intersect<\/em>\u00a0took place on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at Julees Restaurant. The event was graced by the presence of\u00a0His Excellency, the Governor General of Antigua and Barbuda<\/strong>, Dr. Rodney Williams, whose attendance brought distinction and honour to the occasion.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The book is co-authored by two distinguished Antiguan academics: Dr. Harold R. Harris, originally from Willikies, and a retired professor of History, and Dr. Elijah M. James<\/strong>, originally from Newfield and a retired Professor of Economics. Together, they examine the intersections of sport, race, identity, and economics, providing critical insights into the role of cricket in shaping West Indian society. A copy of the book was formally presented to the Governor General, His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams who highlighted the national significance of this contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced and coordinated by Ms. Koren Norton<\/strong>, the launch featured an engaging program hosted by Mr. Dwayne Simon<\/strong> as Master of Ceremonies. The day included spirited steelpan performances by Mr. Jahfari Hazlewood<\/strong>, a powerful spoken word presentation by Mr. Glen Toussaint<\/strong>, and reflections from guest speakers, Mr. Vere Hill<\/strong>, Mr. Zorol Barthley and Mr. Lestroy Samuel<\/strong>. Dr. Harris offered a moving reading from the book, followed by a book signing and lively audience engagement.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis book is more than a study of cricket\u2014it is a reflection on how sport shapes the social and economic fabric of our region,\u201d said Dr. James.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Adding her own reflection, producer and coordinator Koren Norton<\/strong> stated, \u201cCricket is a cornerstone of our Caribbean culture. Examining it not just as a sport, but through the lenses of race, economics, and history, allows us to deepen our appreciation of its impact and creates new opportunities for future study.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch not only celebrated the scholarly and cultural achievements of Dr. James and Dr. Harris but also underscored the enduring role of cricket as a unifying force in West Indian society.<\/p>

Books are available on Amazon and locally from Koren Norton.<\/p>\n
