More about the book
Focusing on the evolution of dress practices in Zambia from the late-colonial period to today, the book highlights how clothing reflects personal, local, and global identities. It challenges the notion that Western fashion dominates, illustrating how Zambia has influenced global trends, particularly through the colorful Chitenge fabric. With vibrant illustrations and personal anecdotes, the author emphasizes dress as a critical medium for negotiating Zambian identities and as a significant factor in historical narratives. Karen Tranberg Hansen is an esteemed scholar in this field.
