Feminism and Folk Art: Case Studies in Mexico, New Zealand, Japan, and Brazil (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781498564359)

This book is a mosaic or quilt of folk art around the world, from polychrome clay figures made in Iz昱ar de Matamoros, Puebla (Mexico) to the baskets Maori women create in New Zealand, from Japanese lacquer work and decorated paddles to black dolls in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The creative impulse found in three continents, four countries, and four geographical regions are juxtaposed to make up a harmonious whole. The book carries out a detailed dissection of a variety of ethnic, racialized, and gender representations in their contemporary forms.
