Bogolan: Shaping Culture Through Cloth in Contemporary MaliFocusing on a single Malian textile identified variously as bogolanfini, bogolan, or mud cloth, Victoria L. Rovine traces the dramatic technical and stylistic innovations that have transformed the cloth from its village origins into a symbol of a new internationalism. Rovine shows how the biography of this uniquely African textile reveals much about contemporary culture in urban Africa and about the global markets in which African art circulates.
