Tennessee Delta Quiltmaking

Though scholars have studied quilt styles with rural southern roots, few have considered black and white quiltmakers together or as part of a shared regional culture. Through interviews with people from rural households, Klassen uncovers the ways in which designs and labor were shared and the ways in which quiltmaking was part of the small-farm culture that was common to blacks and whites.

Desi savantii au studiat stilurile de cuvertura cu radacini sudice rurale, putini au considerat captusitoarele de alb si negru impreuna sau ca parte a unei culturi regionale comune. Prin interviuri cu oameni din gospodariile rurale, Klassen descopera modalitatile prin care desenele si munca au fost impartasite si modalitatile prin care confectionarea plapumelor a facut parte din cultura fermelor mici, care era comuna pentru negri si albi.
