The Kalabari people, who reside primarily in the eastern Niger Delta region of western Africa, have a renowned reputation for their artistry in working with globally imported textiles and garments for centuries. This edited volume, edited by Joanne Eicher, showcases the intricate complexity and enduring aesthetic and ingenuity of Kalabari artisans. Comprising 22 essays, this collection features the work of esteemed Nigerian and American scholars, providing a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of Kalabari textiles, aesthetics, and their engagement with past and present global trade networks. By examining dress and textiles as a lens, Global Trade and Cultural Authentication delves into the centuries-long role of the Kalabari people in the global trade arena. Through their economic interconnectedness, it becomes evident that Africa was never a dark continent but rather critically involved in a global trade built around the remarkable resourcefulness and imagination of the Kalabari people.
