Can craft save America? 520 $a Examine any phase of our nation's struggle to define itself, and artisans are there: from the silversmith Paul Revere and the revolutionary carpenters and blacksmiths who hurled tea into Boston Harbor, to today's "maker movement." Adamson shows that craft has long been implicated in debates around equality, education, and class. Artisanship has often been a site of resistance for oppressed people, such as enslaved African-Americans whose skilled labor might confer hard-won agency under bondage, or the Native American makers who adapted traditional arts into statements of modernity. He argues that these artisans' stories speak to our collective striving toward a more perfect union. -- adapted from jacket 650 0 $a Industrial arts $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Handicraft industries $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Handicraft $x Social aspects $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Social life and customs. 941 $a 1 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20231108010323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8105AA2A7E0411EE85718D4F22ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
