Description
Undertaking a national search to locate slave-crafted textiles, Gladys-Marie Fry uncovered a treasure trove of pieces. The 123 color and black and white photographs featured here highlight many of the finest and most interesting examples of the quilts, woven coverlets, counterpanes, rag rugs, and crocheted artifacts attributed to slave women and men. In a new preface, Fry reflects on the inspiration behind her original research — the desire to learn more about her enslaved great-great-grandmother, a skilled seamstress — and on the deep and often emotional chords the book has struck among readers bonded by an interest in African American artistry.
