Book Synopsis The Language of Clothes by : Alison Lurie
Download or read book The Language of Clothes written by Alison Lurie and published by Holt Paperbacks. This book was released on 2000-03-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic book about the clothes we wear and what they say about us. Even before we speak to someone in a meeting, at a party, or on the street, our clothes often express important information (or misinformation) about our occupation, origin, personality, opinions, and tastes. And we pay close attention to how others dress as well; though we may not be able to put what we observe into words, we unconsciously register the information, so that when we meet and converse we have already spoken to one another in a universal tongue. Alison Lurie, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, is our savvy guide and interpreter on this tour through the history of fashion. She provides fascinating insights into how changing sex roles, political upheavals, and class structure have influenced costume. Whether she is describing the enormous amount of clothing worn by early Victorian women or illuminating the significance of the long robes worn by aging men throughout history to connote eminence, her analysis is playful, clever, and always on target.

Book Synopsis The Language of Dress by : Steeve O. Buckridge
Download or read book The Language of Dress written by Steeve O. Buckridge and published by . This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. "African enslaved and freed women used their fashion and style of dress as a symbol of resistance to slavery and accommodation to white culture in pre- and post-emancipation society. African cultural features - folklore, music, language, religion and dress - were retained and nurtured in Jamaica because they guaranteed the survival of Africans and their descendants against European attempts at cultural annihilation. Steeve Buckridge illuminates the complexities of accommodation and resistance, showing that these complex responses are not opposites but are in fact melded into each other, as he reveals the dynamics of race, class and gender in Jamaican society and the role of women in British West Indian history. His work contributes to the ongoing interest in the history of women and in the history of resistance."--BOOK JACKET. Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
