About this title

Synopsis

North African Textiles celebrates a living tradition whose dynamism is apparent in the continued flourishing of old techniques and styles, whilst readily adapting to new materials and markets. The authors provide a much needed survey of a neglected subject and offer valuable new insights into the significance of textiles in the understanding of North African cultural tradition as a whole.
