A country-by-country bibliography of works on African traditional dress. "Why study African dress? This is an important question in light of the dearth of information on African dress. The study of dress as a factor of material culture in any area of the world can provide insights useful in interpreting other aspects of behavior. For example, in almost all societies, clothing serves as a symbol of wealth, prestige, occupation, and sex. In a continent like Africa which is experiencing rapid change, clothing documents the impact of culture contact and reveals attitudes toward change.".…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Summary:"Global Trade and Cultural Authentication, edited by Joanne Eicher, showcases the complexity and enduring aesthetic and ingenuity of Kalabari artisans. The Kalabari people, most of whom make their homes in the eastern Niger Delta region of western Africa, are renowned for the artistry in working with globally imported textiles and dress for centuries. The 22 essays in this edited volume feature the work of leading Nigerian and American scholars and offer an in-depth, nuanced understanding of Kalabari textiles, aesthetics, and engagement with past and present global trade networks. Using dress and textiles as a lens, Global Trade and Cultural Authentication explores the Kalabari people's centuries-long role in the global trade arena. Their economic interconnectedness demonstrates that Africa was never a "dark continent" but, rather, critically involved in a global trade built around Kalabari resourcefulness and imagination."-- Provided by publisher.…

Zustand: very good. New York : John Wiley & Sons, 1965. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xv,429 pp. - Dress, Adornment, and the Social Order offers pertinent readings from such disciplines as cultural anthropology, economics, sociology, social psychology. and home economics, as well as from journalístic and popular sources. It is the first book to bring together this widely scattered material, and thus constitutes the only comprehensive, systematic examination of the socio-cultural aspects of dress and adornment. The book is organized as follows: Part One - an introduction to the study of dress and adornment - is followed by a treatment of the traditional topics: origins and functions of dress. In Part Three, diversity in cultural patterns of dress is discussed, with em- phasis on technical, aesthetic, moral, and ritualistic patterns. Part Four is given over to a consideration of observable relationships between dress and social organization, as exhibited by age and sex roles and the social structures of family, polity, economy, religion, caste, and class. Parts Five and Six are concerned with, respectively: significance of clothing for the individual as biological organism as well as normal or deviant social self; and patterns of change and stability in dress and the related topic of fashion. Each section of readings is preceded by comments that provide a frame- work for understanding and evaluating the selections. Dress, Adornment, and the Social Order also features valuable lists of supplementary readings, and an annotated bibliography. Condition : very good copy. Keywords : FASHION.…
