Signs and Symbols: African Images in African American Quilts. African American quilts fully realize the expressive force of jazz and bind together generations of African American families. Quilt expert Maude Southwell Wahlman introduces readers to a third powerful force in these quilts— their African-derived meanings, patterns, and iconography—and explores the religious, ritual, philosophical, and aesthetic beliefs represented in these textiles. Over 150 full color, high quality reproductions.
