Crafting Gender
Women and Folk Art in Latin America and the Caribbean
«“Crafting Gender deftly fills a gaping hole in gender studies by providing a rich body of information on women’s traditional arts. Exploring the distinctions between art, ‘folk art,’ and just plain work in a great variety of cultures, the authors illuminate social context, belief systems, aesthetics, and technique, expanding the field to areas not well known outside of academia and Latin America. Feminists, artists, and scholars will find much material in Eli Bartra’s book with which to mold and weave their own forms.”—Lucy R. Lippard, author of The Pink Glass Swan: Selected Feminist Essays on Art»
