The name "maguey" refers to various forms of the agave and furcraea genus, also sometimes called the century plant. The fibers extracted from the leaves of these plants are spun into fine cordage and worked with a variety of tools and techniques to create textiles, from net bags and hammocks to equestrian gear. In this fascinating book, Kathryn Rousso, an accomplished textile artist, takes a detailed look at the state of maguey culture, use, and trade in Guatemala. She has spent years traveling in Guatemala, highlighting maguey workers’ interactions in many locations and blending historical and current facts to describe their environments. Along the way, Rousso has learned the process of turning a raw leaf into beautiful and useful textile products and how globalization and modernization are transforming the maguey trade in Guatemala. Featuring a section of full-color illustrations that follow the process from plant to weaving to product, Maguey Journey presents the story of this fiber over recent decades through the travels of an impassioned artist. Useful to cultural anthropologists, ethnobotanists, fiber artists, and interested travelers alike, this book offers a snapshot of how the industry stands now and seeks to honor those who keep the art alive in Guatemala.

Het rijke erfgoed van gevarieerde en kleurrijke textielkunsten - weven, borduren, lussen, haken - in Guatemala is nu, door middel van dit boek, toegankelijk voor de wever van vandaag. De auteur, een professionele fotografe en schrijfster, heeft vele jaren in Midden-Amerika doorgebracht met het verzamelen van materiaal en het documenteren van de verschillende soorten stoffen die momenteel worden gemaakt. Het boek laat de mannen en vrouwen aan het werk zien die geweven kledingstukken en lappen stof maken, hun weefgetouwen en weefopstellingen en hun materialen. Er wordt speciale nadruk gelegd op de specifieke technieken die worden gebruikt om verschillende soorten stoffen te weven, met name aanvullende inslagpatronen, die lange tijd als de beste prestatie van de Guatemalteekse wevers werden beschouwd. Na een kort overzicht van de oorsprong en geschiedenis van het weven in Guatemala, bespreekt de auteur de achtergrond van het ambacht vandaag de dag, de levensstijl van de wever, het traditionele gebruik van het textiel en recente weeftrends. Het volgende hoofdstuk beschrijft de verschillende vezels die gebruikt worden in de textielproductie: hoe ze gesponnen en geverfd worden en welke soorten weefgetouwen en weefapparatuur gebruikt worden. De verschillende benaderingen van het weven in Guatemala worden beschreven en vergeleken in een lang hoofdstuk over het weven met de rugband (waaronder technieken die gebruikt worden in patroonweven, brokaat en gaas). Een hoofdstuk over weven op weefgetouwen toont de uitrusting en weeftechnieken voor onder andere platbinding, tapisserie en jacquardweven. De auteur beschrijft ook lussen, borduren, breien en haken voor het maken van tassen en netten. De conclusie beschrijft nieuwe richtingen in het weven in Guatemala. Het boek geeft zowel de glorie van de geproduceerde stoffen weer als een portret van het geduld, de vaardigheid en de veeleisende eisen van het weefambacht.

In this volume, anthropologists, art historians, fiber artists, and technologists come together to explore the meanings, uses, and fabrication of textiles in Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia from Precolumbian times to the present. Originally published in 1991 by Garland Publishing, the book grew out of a 1987 symposium held in conjunction with the exhibit "Costume as Communication: Ethnographic Costumes and Textiles from Middle America and the Central Andes of South America" at the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology, Brown University.
