The collapse of West Indies cricket performance standards in the mid 1990s, from the pinnacle of the 1980s, remains one of the most dramatic examples of nationalist dislocation and demobilization in the face of a refashioned global circumstance.
Volume 1, The Age of Nationalism, examines the short-lived 'first rising' of West Indian cricket supremacy, associated with the Worrell-Sobers axis. The successes under Sobers' leadership, says Beckles, sent a clear message to the world that the newly independent nations of the West indies were able to lead world cricket ' with certainty, purpose and poise'. Beckles then treats the 'second rising, under the Lloyd and Richards which he considers momentous in the context of West Indies cricket and in the global history of the game.
