Fred Rweru, Berea College Leather, Willow and Empire: Cricket’s “Mutation” in former British Colonies United Kingdom, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, India, Australia With the Watson Fellowship, I hope to study how and why cricket has uniquely altered or “mutated” in four major cricketing regions of the world, and “corners” of the former British Empire. I intend to thoroughly examine, experience, and study four exhilarating aspects of cricket: its medieval development and socio-political context in the British Empire in England, cross-battling and fast-borling in the West Indies, spin-borling in India, and cricket’s scientific and technological innovation in Australia.
Stop at Social, Performance and Competitive Aspects

Primary motivation is study different approaches and attitudes towards Salsa. Mambo, which is an early form of Salsa, means “conversation with the gods”; a lot of Hispanics view salsa as their cultural dance; it would be interesting to see if there are people who still view Salsa/its relatives with such a spiritual connection questions to ask Jody Spooner: when does the Watson period begin(Sept 1st?) Salsa as a force to bring people together, salsa does not discriminate.
