| Summary / Abstract (Note) | India and South Africa have long been mutually implicated in a common ethical field. The principal motivation for both scholars and inhabitants of these two large social formations to take an interest in one another - to make comparisons as much as to actively recall or forge connections - derives from a shared preoccupation with civic virtue and private ethics. In this article, I examine postcolonial cricket and a beauty contest as exemplary arenas in which common concerns about race, justice, identity and democracy may be discerned and debated. |
