An episode from the first season of the action thriller series
starring Steven Seagal. The activities of a new serial killer bring
a chill to the city. Apparently drawing on techniques and ideas
associated with the occult, the killer gruesomely dispatches their
unfortunate victims. Kane is assigned the task of catching the
murderer and begins his investigations in his usual unflinching
manner. It may well be, however, that catching a killer so immersed
in the dark arts and magic will require Kane to venture
uncomfortably close to these practices himself. Will his dual love
for justice and vengeance pull him through?
This book considers how Samoans embraced and reshaped the English
game of cricket, recasting it as a distinctively Samoan pastime,
kirikiti. Starting with cricket's 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.
