In this beautifully illustrated book, Victoria L. Rovine explores the revival of a traditional African textiles known variously as bogolanfini, bogolan, or mudcloth. Over the last decade, artists of the West African nation of Mali have adapted this cloth, featuring black- or brown-and-white geometric patterns, to create a variety of new wares, including intricately detailed paintings, elaborate high-fashion clothing, and a wide range of other products aimed at both domestic and foreign consumers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and fun - a book on African mudcloth, Nov 13 2008
By Celia K. Nyamweru - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bogolan: Shaping Culture Through Cloth in Contemporary Mali (Paperback)
Victoria Rovine tells a great story and illustrates it with wonderful images of the indigenous textile from Mali, bogolanfini or bogolan, known as mudcloth in the US. Her book is strong on theory but also full of personal details about the people and the places where bogolan is made. Good for anthropology, fine art, material culture courses but also an excellent read for anyone interested in African culture and creativity. Highly recommended!
