This review is from: The 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. |
