This pioneering work traces the history and evolution of the
textiles of Myanmar (Burma) made and used by the Burman (Bama)
ethnic majority. Written accessibly, it covers the importance of
textiles in many contexts as well as changes and innovation brought
about by trade and conflict with neighboring states, British
colonization, postwar isolation, and recent "open-door" policies.
In addition to visiting the major textile centers, Sylvia Fraser-Lu
ventured into the more remote areas of the Burman heartland to
garner information on lesser-known textiles and those made by
minorities. Profusely illustrated with on-site and archival
photographs of weavers and heirloom textiles, as well as with
diagrams and sketches, this book will be an important reference for
textile scholars and art historians and for those interested in
Burman culture.
