    From basketball hoops to cricket bats, the role community sports play in our cities and how crucial they are to diversity and inclusion.
		 
“The virus exposed how we live and work. It also revealed how we play, and what we lose when we have to stop.” For every kid who makes it to the NBA, thousands more seek out the pleasure and camaraderie of pick-up basketball in their local community centre or neighbourhood park. It’s a story that plays out in sport after sport – team and individual, youth and adult, men's and women's. While the dazzle of pro athletes may command our attention, grassroots sports build the bridges that link city-dwellers together in ways that go well beyond the physical benefits. The pandemic and heightened awareness of racial exclusion reminded us of the importance of these pastimes and the public spaces where we play. In this closely reported exploration of the role of community sports in diverse cities, Toronto journalist Perry King makes an impassioned case for re-imagining neighbourhoods whose residents can be active, healthy, and connected.
		 
“I couldn’t stop reading Perry King’s Rebound. An evocative essay about the transformative and uniting power of local sports in a city with residents from every country in the world, the book is well researched, entertaining, and informative. It spoke to my own experiences as a young athlete fitting into a new city when I first came to Toronto – and to the importance our city government must place on local recreation and sports if our city is to help all residents reach their potential. A fantastic contribution to understanding Toronto – and to the power of local recreation in any major city.” —David Miller, former mayor of Toronto

    The Ashanti Empire, flourishing from the 17th to the 19th century in what is now Ghana, stands as a testament to the resilience and sophistication of African states. This powerful kingdom was established through a unique blend of indigenous cultural traditions and political innovations, creating a centralized authority that not only governed a vast territory but also unified diverse ethnic groups under a single national identity. At the heart of this unity was the revered Golden Stool, a symbol of divine providence and the collective spirit of the Ashanti people. 
Emerging from a landscape rich in natural resources and strategic trade routes, the Ashanti Empire developed robust economic foundations. Gold, kola nuts, and other valuable commodities flowed through well-established networks, facilitating both internal prosperity and external exchanges with neighboring regions and distant trading partners. This economic strength enabled the empire to invest in military expansion and administrative structures that further consolidated its power. 
The political organization of the Ashanti Empire was characterized by a sophisticated hierarchy led by the Asantehene, whose authority was both political and spiritual. This dual role was crucial in maintaining social order and ensuring loyalty among the various clans and communities within the empire. The administration was further supported by councils of elders and local chiefs, who played significant roles in the governance process by mediating disputes and enforcing the laws that held the society together.
