Women potters : transforming traditions
"Moira Vincentelli guides the reader through these traditions continent by continent. Different areas are illustrated with beautiful, detailed maps and fascinating color photographs from around the world. Central to her argument is the proposition that, far from disappearing as is so often claimed, these traditions are adapting and accommodating to new conditions. Often the potters are the bearers of cultural identity in an increasingly globalized world. This book should appeal not only to those interested in ceramics, but also to those with an interest in world art outside the western tradition, in women's studies, material culture, archaeology, and social anthropology."--Jacket
