Abstract | The small, isolated community of Gee's Bend, Alabama, is home to a rich quilting heritage. The quilters have enjoyed much recent fame. There have been traveling exhibitions, large coffee-table books, and even a series of postage stamps. The quilts are striking; they feature bold, asymmetrical patterns, bright colors, and rich texture. Examining the history of Gee's Bend gives insight into plantation slavery, the New Deal, and the Civil Rights Movement. In this article, the author describes how students made handmade quilts which were inspired by the quilts of Gee's Bend. By examining the culture of another community, students learn to value their own community's cultural expression. (Contains 1 online resource.) (ERIC). |
