Craft and War
Editat de Alida R. Jekabson, Heather Smith, Jennifer Wayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2026
Chapters look at the impact of colonization on making practices and acts of preserving cultural heritage in times of dislocation and migration. Authors provide insights into repurposing tools of oppression and the appropriation of material culture as a device of warfare, in addition to embroidery and tactics of resistance, and the role of craft and folk art in international feminist peace activism. Organized into four thematic sections, this book reveals how craft developed in different regions during and after armed conflicts, including research on trench art and objects, quilts and rugs commissioned in wartime, and ceramics and the art of commemoration. Craft and War also provides a breadth of analysis on crafting as a rehabilitative activity and traces government initiatives across different countries for postwar healing involving crafts.
This important contribution to modern craft history addresses multiple facets of a rich and complex subject to provide cross-national, cultural and chronological comparisons of craft's participation in situations of conflict and stages of war.

Recenzii
This volume offers a veritable warren of enticing essays, spanning archival, historical, contemporary, Western, and non-Western perspectives.
These essays air out marvelous examples of humanity's dirty laundry by identifying many a 'subversive stitch' (often by a woman) that realized survival and resistance --and also distinct ways that craft has been co-opted into a nationalist symbol. The authors illuminate specific instances when the human penchant for genocide and civil war disrupted indigenous and artisanal knowledge and savor the expansive field of crafted objects as an immense archive of lived experience and emotions.
