Conference Presentation: Rhodesian Olympic Team

This video is from the Politics of Sport in Africa Conference at Ohio University in March 2010. My presentation was entitled "New and Continuing Research on the Rhodesian Olympic Team," and wrote a paper drawing in newspaper articles and primary sources on Rhodesia's invitation to and exclusion from the Munich Olympics in 1972 and the threatened African boycott. The paper attempts to put the Rhodesian debate into a broader historical context of South African exclusion from international sport and African unity on the International Olympic Committee, which peaked in the early 1970s.
