Needlework in Africa: Stitching Identities and Histories
Needlework in Africa: Stitching Identities and Histories
This beautifully crafted book explores needlework – encompassing sewing, embroidery, weaving, quilting, tattooing and more – as a lens for understanding gendered and marginalised histories and identities. It reveals how needlework offers a platform for self-expression and historical storytelling as well as serving as an alternative archive.
