The essays show that characteristics generally considered to be 'feminine' are in fact cultural constructions within a patriarchal order. The patriarchal culture is taken by us to be a system of meanings, as well as power relations, which pervades our view of women at both a conscious and an unconscious level.The symbolism of the rituals, myths, art works and polemics examined in the essays is related to the ways women are psychically constructed and constrained 410 0$aRoutledge library editions.$pFeminist theory ;$vv. 27. 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aFemininity 606 $aWomen$xPsychology 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aFemininity. 615 0$aWomen$xPsychology. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a301.41/2 676 $a301.412 676 $a305.42 702 $aLipshitz$b Susan 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786597203321 996 $aTearing the veil$91360546 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03703nam 2200697 450 001 9910812884903321 005 20201023111955.0 010 $a1-4742-8533-3 010 $a1-4725-6932-6 010 $a1-4725-6931-8 024 7 $a10.5040/9781474285339 035 $a(CKB)3710000000726342 035 $a(EBL)4542873 035 $a(OCoLC)951977324 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001677619 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16488550 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001677619 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14958400 035 $a(PQKB)11200591 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4542873 035 $a(OCoLC)1201426283 035 $a(CaBNVSL)mat74285339 035 $a(CaBNVSL)9781474285339 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000726342 100 $a20201023d2020 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAfrican lace-bark in the Caribbean $ethe construction of race, class and gender /$fSteeve O.

In order to maintain vital links to their traditions and culture, slaves retained certain customs and nurtured them in the Caribbean. The creation of lace-bark cloth from the lagetta tree was a practice that enabled slave women to fashion their own clothing, an exercise that was both a necessity, as clothing provisions for slaves were poor, and empowering, as it allowed women who participated in the industry to achieve some financial independence. This is the first book on the subject and, through close collaboration with experts in the field including Maroon descendants, scientists and conservationists, it offers a pioneering perspective on the material culture of Caribbean slaves, bringing into focus the dynamics of race, class and gender. Focusing on the time period from the 1660s to the 1920s, it examines how the industry developed, the types of clothes made, and the people who wore them. The study asks crucial questions about the social roles that bark cloth production played in the plantation economy and colonial society, and in particular explores the relationship between bark cloth production and identity amongst slave women. 606 $aTapa$xSocial aspects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aWomen slaves$xClothing$zCaribbean Area 606 $aBlacks$xClothing$zCaribbean Area 606 $aBlacks$xMaterial culture$zCaribbean Area 606 $aClothing and dress$zCaribbean Area$xHistory 606 $aTextile design & theory$2bicssc 615 0$aTapa$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWomen slaves$xClothing 615 0$aBlacks$xClothing 615 0$aBlacks$xMaterial culture 615 0$aClothing and dress$xHistory. 615 7$aTextile design & theory 676 $a391/.208625098611 700 $aBuckridge$b Steeve O.$01714786 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812884903321 996 $aAfrican lace-bark in the Caribbean$94108902 997 $aUNINA
