Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Highly recommendedmdash;the intersection of craft. race. gender. botany. and moreBy Aimee LeeThis is an excellent and meticulously-researched book written in prose that makes it easy for the general reader to follow. It gives a fascinating history of the migration of lace-bark from Africa to the Caribbean. focusing mainly on Jamaica but noting its presence in Cuba in Haiti. and the uses and meanings of lace-bark in a slave culture and beyond emancipation. Anyone interested in global textile traditions. paper prototypes. human inventions using botanical materials. and the cultural implications of dress. race. and womens work will find this book rewarding. A final plea at the end of the book asks us to consider the near extinction of these special trees (Lagetta lagetto) and to keep them in mind when designating protected areas or before clearing native habitats for development.
