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
