This omnibus volume offers a deep dive into a unique art form that originated mainly in the rural American South and black cultural centers during African American migration. It encompasses a range of artistic expressions, including quilts, sculptures, carvings, basketry, pottery, metalwork, musical instruments, and architecture, all of which demonstrate a significant influence in American art and African heritage. By celebrating its African roots and the artists involved, this collection compiles essays from sixteen respected scholars illuminating the diverse and rich tapestry of folk culture.
