520 | 8 | _aIn Caribbean history, the European colonial plantocracy created a cultural diaspora in which African slaves were torn from their ancestral homeland. In order to maintain vital links to their traditions and culture, slaves retained certain customs and nurtured them in the Caribbean. The creation of lace-bark cloth from the lagetta tree was a practice that enabled slave women to fashion their own clothing, an exercise that was both a necessity, as clothing provisions for slaves were poor, and empowering, as it allowed women who participated in the industry to achieve some financial independence. Through close collaboration with experts in the field including Maroon descendants, scientists and conservationists, this book offers a pioneering perspective on the material culture of Caribbean slaves, bringing into focus the dynamics of race, class and gender. | |
