African Textiles Today illustrates how African history is read, told, and recorded in cloth. All artifacts or works of art hold within them stories that range far beyond the time of their creation or the lifetime of their creator, and African textiles are patterned with these hidden histories. In Africa, cloth may be used to memorialize or commemorate something - an event, a person, a political cause - which in other parts of the world might be written down in detail or recorded by a plaque or monument. History in Africa can be read, told, and recorded in cloth. Making and trading numerous types of cloth have been vital elements in African life and culture for at least two millennia, linking different parts of the continent with each other and the rest of the world. Africa's long engagement with the peoples of the Mediterranean and the islands of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans provides a story of change and continuity. African Textiles Today shows how ideas, techniques, materials, and markets have adapted and flourished, and how the dynamic traditions in African textiles have provided inspiration for the continent's foremost contemporary artists and photographers. With a concluding chapter discussing the impact of African designs across the world, the book offers a fascinating insight into the living history of Africa.

The Art of African Textiles traces some paths through the complex and still largely unresearched history of African textile artistry. It explores the ways cloth is used in African societies and the role of cloth traditions in contemporary dress and fashion design. Major forms and styles of the twentieth century are introduced, those which are both cherished in their local context and increasingly sought after by collectors and museums worldwide.

"In recent years there has been a growing interest in the traditional textiles of non-Western societies and in these societies themselves. Ten years ago, when the first edition of this book was published, it was virtually the only general survey of textile production and use in Africa, but since then a growing number of local studies have been published. This new edition takes account of these, and of the authors' subsequent fieldwork in Nigeria and Madagascar, to produce an up-dated survey of the production process from the preparation of the raw materials to the embellishment of the woven cloth by dyeing, appliqué, embroidery, etc. The text is illustrated with a new selection of photographs drawing both on the superb collections of the British museum and on field photographs showing details of how the cloth is made and worn. In Africa textiles are used not only as everyday clothing but for special events, sometimes with ritual meanings, and to decorate houses and shrines as well as people. This book looks beyond the design and making of African cloth to its social, political, and religious significance." -- Cover page 4.
