Indian-Made: Navajo Culture in the Marketplace, 1868-1940
ISBN: 9780700618903 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In works of silver and wool, the Navajos have established a unique brand of American craft.

As Anglo tourists discovered these crafts, the Navajo weavings and jewelry gained appeal from the romanticized notion that their producers were part of a primitive group whose traditions were destined to vanish. Erika Bsumek now explores the complex links between...
