Copied Cricket, Kirikiti and Imperialism in Samoa, 18791939
Cricket, Kirikiti and Imperialism in Samoa, 18791939
This book considers how Samoans embraced and reshaped the English game of cricket, recasting it as a distinctively Samoan pastime, kirikiti. Starting with crickets introduction to the islands in 1879, it uses both cricket and kirikiti to trace six decades of contest between and within the categories of colonisers and colonised. How and why did Samoans adapt and appropriate the imperial game? How did officials, missionaries, colonists, soldiers and those with mixed foreign and Samoan heritage understand and respond to the real and symbolic challenges kirikiti presented? And how did Samoans use both games to navigate foreign colonialism(s)? By investigating these questions, Benjamin Sacks suggests alternative frameworks for conceptualising sporting transfer and adoption, and advances understandings of how power, politics and identity were manifested through sport, in Samoa and across the globe.
