In this holistic approach to the study of textiles and their
makers, Colleen Kriger charts the role cotton has played in
commercial, community, and labor settings in West Africa. By paying
close attention to the details of how people made, exchanged, and
wore cotton cloth from before industrialization in Europe to the
twentieth century, she is able to demonstrate some of the cultural
effects of Africa's long involvement in trading contacts with
Muslim societies and with Europe. Cloth in West African History
thus offers a fresh perspective on the history of the region and on
the local, regional, and global processes that shaped it. A variety
of readers will find its account and insights into the African past
and culture valuable, and will appreciate the connections made
between the local concerns of small-scale weavers in African
villages, the emergence of an indigenous textile industry, and its
integration into international networks.
