Gerdner Foundation 520 $a "This book provides a groundbreaking exploration of the historical significance of Hmong reverse applique and circumstances that led to the development of this unique textile art form. Made by members of two Laotian Hmong sub-groups, the White Hmong and Striped Hmong (named after their distinct styles of clothing), reverse applique is a complex form of needework traditionally used to decorate clothing. It also serves as a form of group and social identification .... This book serves to document the history, practice, iconography, and significance of a folk art deeply embedded in the Hmong experience. It will preserve the memory and knowledge of an art form integral to an immigrant group that is now woven into America's cultural fabric." from the inside front cover. 650 01 $a Embroidery, Hmong. 650 01 $a Hmong (Asian people). 651 1 $a Burlington (Iowa) $x Authors. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517012154.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220614010321.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=503E57CAEBA711ECB9EC59E53EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
