Handcraft Revival Southern Appalachia: 1930-1990
Angebote / Angebote:
Recounts the 'missionary' effort that preserved the traditional Appalachian craft culture and traces the organisation, politics, and economics of later handcraft revival organisations in Southern Appalachia. Involved in many of the events he describes, Garry Barker has worked in the Appalachian crafts world since the early 1960s. He draws on memories of the leading craftspeople of a bygone era, LBJ's War on Poverty, mushrooming markets for craft products, and the rise of academic crafts training.
