african textiles John Picton & John Mack Covers textile arts from the entire continent and beautifully illustrated. "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."
