This is a wonderful book--if you can still find it---to introduce you to this cloth and the people who weave it. The oversized book is full of color pages and goes through the evolution of the cloth to the meaning and names of the cloth.
The book was put together as part of the UCLA Fowler exhibition in 1998. Ignore the other comment about the binding. The book is WELL worth hunting for and using a little glue to put the cover back on should it come off. If you like textiles, this book is a must for your library.

Ghanaian Ewe Kete (Not Kente): Wrapped in Pride,

This review is from: Wrapped in Pride: Ghanaian Kente and African American Identity (UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History Textile Series) (Paperback)
Excellent piece about Ghanaian Ewe Kete (a name that was corrupted into Kente just like "Okomfo from Notsie" was corrupted to Okomfo Anokye).
