5.0 out of 5 stars
Photos, Text, History, Jan 6 2012
By Ohioan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Navajo Weaving Tradition: 1650 to the Present (Paperback)
I have the earlier (1985) edition of this book, and I would give it five stars under any circumstances, so I assume the newer edition is even better -- six stars if that were possible! The history of Navajo weaving is highly informative, and the photos of rugs, ancient and new, are stunning. The chapters are:1 A Brief Introduction to Navajo Weaving
2 The First Weavers
3 The Classic Period
4 Bosque Redondo and the Aftermath
5 The Reservation Traders
6 Contemporary Navajo Weaving
7 The Weaving Process -- Tools, Techniques, and Materials
Notes
Glossary
Selected Bibliography
Index
This book is valued by collectors of Navajo rugs, but really, it's a wonderful book for anybody interested in the Navajo, the Southwest, art, or weaving.
