African-American quilts possess two unique qualities: more than any
other American visual art, they most fully realize the expressive
force of jazz, and they bind together generations of
African-American families who have made and cherished quilts. In
Signs and Symbols, quilt expert Maude Southwell Wahlman introduces
readers to a third powerful force in these quilts: their
African-derived meanings, patterns, and iconography. She explores
the religious, ritual, philosophical, and aesthetic beliefs that
have been retained by descendants of Africans in the New World and
demonstrates how these beliefs are represented in their textiles.
Now back in print, Signs and Symbols remains the most complete
illustrated work on this art form.
