    Book SynopsisJohanna Amos is Assistant Professor (adjunct) of art, textile, and fashion history at Queen's University, Ontario, CanadaLisa Binkley is Assistant Professor in Material Culture, and Indigenous and Settler Women's Histories in the Department of History at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.Trade ReviewI found it fascinating ... the reading [is] intriguing and varied. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in Art History as it relates to textiles. * Book Threads Magazine *Stitching the Self considers historical textiles and the lives that made them. Diverse examples – from the English Bloomsbury group to a Swiss psychiatric asylum – show how textile making has long been used as an effective tool to craft personal and group identities. * Jessica Hemmings, University of Gothenburg, Sweden *Needles are evocative tools of material expression. This collection reveals the freighted history and practice of needlework, whose signal importance is demonstrated across this engrossing volume. Makers from varied circumstances are showcased in compelling ways, challenging categories of artistic production. * Beverly Lemire, University of Alberta, Canada *A diverse range of essays which richly illustrate the importance of needlecrafts in forging, reconstituting, recovering and reclaiming individual and collective identifies. Focusing on Europe and North America, the authors illuminate hidden histories, challenge gender stereotypes and disrupt art/craft and professional/amateur binaries. * Vivienne Richmond, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK *Table of ContentsList of Figures List of Plates List of Tables Notes on Contributors Acknowledgments Introduction: Stitching the self ...
