Summary: Writing History with Needle and Thread
Comment: Although a small book, its' historical content is indeed large and informative. This book has been rated at an appropiate reading level for 9-12, however I enjoy it as an adult. Impoverished and denied the written word, Harriet Powers needs to be added to our ever-growing list of "Sheroes". A former slave, she was able to recreate Biblical events in cloth, without ever having seen many of the creatures she dipicted;ie. the whale, in Jonah and the Whale, or the animals on the Ark. One has only to compare her applique work to that of the Dahomey story cloths, to see a definite link to our stolen history. I referrenced this book ,along with others, as a critical part of a term paper of the same name as my above title. I reccomend this book to anyone interested in history, as well as quilts. I thank Mary E. Lyons for giving us this prized possesion.
