Fashioning Africa: Power and the Politics of Dress - African Expressive Cultures
Jean Marie Allman
From clothing as an expression of freedom in early colonial Zanzibar to Somali women's headcovering in inner-city Minneapolis, this work explores the power of dress in African and pan-African settings. Nationalist and diasporic identities, as well as their histories and politics, are examined at the level of what is put on the body every day.
