African Prints - A Design Book

Shirley Friedland and Leslie Piña

A design sourcebook of African wax and fancy prints, illustrating hundreds of fabric patterns and motifs. The subject draws attention to how materials and techniques can carry histories of place, identity and cultural exchange. Readers interested in african studies and cultural history can look beyond appearance to the knowledge and histories carried by material culture.
