Kurzfassung:
Dress and fashion practices in Africa and the diaspora are dynamic and diverse, whether on the street or on the fashion runway. Focusing on the dressed body as a performance site, 'African Dress' explores how ideas and practices of dress contest or legitimise existing power structures through expressions of individual identity and the cultural and political order
