Africa's craft sector is increasingly being targeted as a vehicle for economic development and social empowerment by western aid agencies, which act as go-betweens for established design companies and artisans. Craft, they say, is a beautiful and uplifting way to help poor communities prosper without compromising their traditional way of life and, unsurprisingly, western designers are keen to get involved in such work. Katherine Ladd questions the blanket acceptance of such craft/design interventions in Africa and instead poses some difficult questions. Is this kind of aid outdated; a legacy from another, less enlightened age? Do the resulting products constitute true artistic collaboration or are they simply a form of outsourcing? How does technology feature in western ideas about African craft? And what exactly does 'authenticity' mean to both the artisans and the designers? The author spent four years observing a craft charity as it was established in Burkina Faso, West Africa, from the mud-floored huts of weavers in remote countryside to the glittering design fairs of Europe and North America. Her thought-provoking, ethnographic approach examines everyone involved with an unflinching eye, including her own role as a designer

From the colonial period onward, black artisans in southern cities--thousands of free and enslaved carpenters, coopers, dressmakers, blacksmiths, saddlers, shoemakers, bricklayers, shipwrights, cabinetmakers, tailors, and others--played vital roles in their communities. Yet only a very few black craftspeople have gained popular and scholarly attention. Catherine W. Bishir remedies this oversight by offering an in-depth portrayal of urban African American artisans in the small but important port city of New Bern. In so doing, she highlights the community's often unrecognized importance in the history of nineteenth-century black life. Drawing upon myriad sources, Bishir brings to life men and women who employed their trade skills, sense of purpose, and community relationships to work for liberty and self-sufficiency, to establish and protect their families, and to assume leadership in churches and associations and in New Bern's dynamic political life during and after the Civil War. Focusing on their words and actions, Crafting Lives provides a new understanding of urban southern black artisans' unique place in the larger picture of American artisan identity.

Africa in Fashion explores the kaleidoscope of craft cultures that have shaped African fashion for centuries and captures the intriguing stories of contemporary and avant-garde African brands. Part One looks at Africa's rich cultural heritage and place in the network of global fashion. The first chapter retells the history of African fashion, exploring Africa's textile traditions, artisanship and role as a global resource. The second chapter presents a New Africa and examines the promise and potential of Africa's markets, while challenging stereotypes and the concept of European hegemony particularly in the realm of luxury fashion. It also spotlights Africa's unique position as the global industry shifts towards a more sustainable future. Part Two ushers the reader into the spectacular world of African fashion today. It showcases a carefully curated set of the continent's most dynamic brands and, through interviews with prominent and inspiring designers, offers rare insight into their ethos and design practice. Covering unisex fashion, menswear, womenswear, accessories and jewellery the brands are each purposefully selected to contribute uniquely to the mosaic of Africa evolving creative landscape.

"We need to grow the pool of quality artisans in South Africa. The world of work has changed, which requires artisans to develop new sets of skills. What does this mean for the traditional notion of 'artisan'? This compelling study evaluates changes to artisan identity and status in the manufacturing sector in South Africa. In developing a methodology to study artisanal occupations, this book provides a fresh academic perspective to the policy debate, and contributes to the international literature on artisans."--Back cover.
