A Communion of the Spirits: African-American Quilters, Preservers, and Their Stories
Description
Through intimate portraits and vivid photography, this volume celebrates African American quilters whose artistry is inseparable from family, community, memory, and cultural inheritance. Drawing on encounters across the United States as well as recollections of the quiltmakers of his youth, it brings forward the personal histories behind remarkable quilts and the traditions they preserve. The book explores quilting as both creative expression and a living record of resilience, identity, faith, and shared experience. Richly human and documentary in approach, it offers a compelling tribute to artists and storytellers whose work connects generations.
