A Handbook For Transnational Samoan Matai (chiefs) : Tusifaitau O Matai Fafo O Samoa
Paperback Edition: 1
The work in this Handbook provides intergenerational Samoan experiences across multi-disciplinary sites that give testimony to 'others' definitions of faasamoa, faamatai, language, customs, value systems and practices and the assimilation of these as global forces of modernisation. More fundamentally however, the work in this Handbook provides evidence for the powerful resistance and motivation of transnational Samoan matai to harness the promise and potential of tautua (service), to their families,villages and to Samoa, despite the risks and pressures their tautua embodies.
