{"product_id":"dress-cultures-in-zambia-karen-tranberg-hansen-9781009350341","title":"Dress Cultures in Zambia","description":"Drawing on half-a-century of research in Zambia and regional scholarship, Karen Tranberg Hansen offers a vibrant history of changing dress practices from the late-colonial period to the present day. Exploring how the dressed body serves as the point of contact between personal, local, and global experiences, she argues that dress is just as central to political power as it is to personal style. Questioning the idea that the West led fashion trends elsewhere, Hansen demonstrates how local dress conventions appropriated western dress influences as Zambian and shows how Zambia contributed to global fashions, such as the colourful Chitenge fabric that spread across colonial trading networks. Brought to life with colour illustrations and personal anecdotes, this book spotlights dress not only as an important medium through which Zambian identities are negotiated, but also as a key reflector and driver of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Tranberg Hansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 100935034X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009350341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Karen Tranberg Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072034062591,"sku":"9781009350341","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0416d7ab-0045-4f10-83b3-b72e3161102d.jpg?v=1753415615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dress-cultures-in-zambia-karen-tranberg-hansen-9781009350341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
