520 "In the decades preceding the Civil War, coverlets became
popular in rural white American households. Often woven by
itinerant professional male weavers at the specification
of women for use in their homes, these coverlets represent
a distinctly American tradition that reflects a rich
legacy of folk textiles. Examples of these coverlets are
exhibited in both northern and southern states, although
in different contexts. They are sometimes exhibited in
slave quarters along the seaboard in Georgia and South
Carolina in association with plantation properties, as
well as in piedmont areas in association with the
antebellum yeomanry. These southern textiles are
particularly interesting not because of their uniqueness
within American textile production in the first half of
the 19th century, but because they are most often
attributed, in the context of the museum display, to
everyday African American slave use, and sometimes to
slave production. There is a distinct contrast between the
aesthetics of slave house textiles (which are usually bold,
hand spun, artisan woven overshot with double weave
undulating geometrics) and those of the plantation houses
(which tend to be associated with polychromatic European
imported printed and woven designs). What can we learn by
examining the exhibition and interpretation of these
textiles within narratives of American history? This book
seeks to answer that question through the examination of
these critical questions: How do these textiles arrive in
museum collections? How does their placement in slave and
servant quarters position them within a history of African
American enslaved people's material culture, when in fact
they might have been cast offs from an owner? And, finally,
in investigating the politics of contemporary exhibition
practices, how do appearances resulting from mode of
production shape the production of history? Through these
explorations, Falls and Smith contend that these exhibits
can tell us far more about America's lifestyles today than
they might accurately represent the past, particularly
with regard to ideas about race, class, gender, the value
of women's work, and the separation of private versus
public spaces"--|cProvided by publisher.
