UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 Copyright by Steeve Oliver Buckridge 1998 ABSTRACT This project is a study of how dress functioned as an instrument of both resistance to slavery and accommodation to white culture in pre- and post-emancipation Jamaican society. Further, the project will illuminate the complexities of accommodation and resistance, showing that these responses were not polar opposites, but melded into each other. This analysis will enhance our knowledge of the Black Atlantic, the role of British colonialism within the Caribbean, and the impact of the diaspora on African women. Meanwhile, the focus on dress will stimulate further scholarly work on women’s material culture, the role of women in British West Indian history, and African women’s ability to maintain expressive cultural strategies as a means of survival. The subjects of this study are slave and freed women who lived in British colonial Jamaica and were African or of African descent. I argue that these women had some control over their clothing whether as resistors or accommodators and they were able to maintain and nurture African cultural characteristics in their dress. I also discuss the aesthetic value of West African women’s dress and the African customs in dress that were brought to Jamaica by African slaves. I explore how these customs in dress were nurtured and maintained. I show that changes in dress occurred from slavery to emancipation, from more African modes to more European-influenced styles that accompanied greater possibilities for social mobility. This study also includes a discussion of carnival dress as an example of simultaneous resistance and accommodation expressed in ambiguous meanings, and the role of dress in contemporary Jamaican society. The inter-disciplinary nature of this study is heightened by the use of primary and secondary sources, deriving not only from history and women studies, but also from anthropology, social psychology, historical linguistics and textiles and clothing. My findings are not definitive, but rather suggestive as to how dress, as an artifact and a part of material culture can be used to communicate aspects of women’s lives such as gender relations, identity, and class within the Jamaican plantocracy. Ill Dedicated to my mother, Mildred, who taught me to serve God, to reach for the stars, and to love with all my heart! IV ACKNOWLEDGMENT My God My All... All things are possible with God. There is an old Jamaican proverb, “one one coco full basket,” meaning that the contributions of each person, no matter how small, will contribute to success. An acknowledgment is a testament to this truth. I wish to thank my adviser, Claire Robertson, for her guidance, mentoring and encouragement. I also wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the other members of my committee, Drs. Leila Rupp, Ahmad Sikainga and Gwendolyn O’Neal for their intellectual support. My deep appreciation to the staff and faculty of The Ohio State University History department, and the Graduate school for their help throughout the years. I am grateful to the C.I.C., G S A R A and the Elizabeth Gee Fellowship Foundations for supporting my doctoral studies. My gratitude to the staff of the West Indies Collection, The University of the West Indies Library, The National Archives of Jamaica, the Institute of Jamaica and The National Library of Jamaica for their assistance during my field research. Many thanks to Professor Rex Nettleford, Pro-Vice Chancellor of The University of The West Indies, Dr. Olive Lewin, director of the Jamaican Folk singers, and Mrs. Muriel Whynn of the Moore Town Maroon descendants for their time, and willingness to share their ideas and stories with me. My appreciation to Dr. Verene Shepherd for her guidance, and the staff of the History department at the University of the West Indies for all their help. Many thanks also to Glory Robertson, Barry Higman, the Jamaica Historical Society and the A.C.H. members who offered valuable advice on this project during the 1998 conference in Suriname. My sincere thanks to Donald Sgontz and Lynne Matthaes for all their help and patience throughout the research process. Finally, I would like to acknowledge my friends, family members, particularly the women of my family who both inspired and molded me. I thank them for their prayers, unbounded support and most of all their unconditional love.

  • “Al-Tally” Ascension Journey from an Egyptian Folk Art to International Fashion Trend
    مجمة العمارة والفنون العدد العاشر “Al-tally” ascension journey from an Egyptian folk art to international fashion trend Dr. Noha Fawzy Abdel Wahab Lecturer at fashion department -The Higher Institute of Applied Arts Introduction: Tally is a netting fabric embroidered with metal. The embroidery is done by threading wide needles with flat strips of metal about 1/8” wide. The metal may be nickel silver, copper or brass. The netting is made of cotton or linen. The fabric is also called tulle-bi-telli. The patterns formed by this metal embroidery include geometric figures as well as plants, birds, people and camels. Tally has been made in the Asyut region of Upper Egypt since the late 19th century, although the concept of metal embroidery dates to ancient Egypt, as well as other areas of the Middle East, Asia, India and Europe. A very sheer fabric is shown in Ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. The fabric was first imported to the U.S. for the 1893 Chicago. The geometric motifs were well suited to the Art Deco style of the time. Tally is generally black, white or ecru. It is found most often in the form of a shawl, but also seen in small squares, large pieces used as bed canopies and even traditional Egyptian dresses. Tally shawls were made into garments by purchasers, particularly during the 1920s. ملخص البحث: التمي ىو نوع من انواع االتطريز عمى اقمشة منسوجة ويتم ىذا النوع من التطريز عن طريق لضم ابر عريضة بخيوط معدنية مسطحة بسمك 1/8" تصنع ىذه الخيوط من النيكل او الفضة او النحاس.واﻻقمشة المستخدمة في صناعة التمي تكون مصنوعة اما من القطن او الكتان.

  • MAKE YOUR OWN SCRUBBIE Create Your Netting Yarn Step 1 Lay Your
    MAKE YOUR OWN SCRUBBIE Create Your Netting Yarn Step 1 Lay your yard of netting (When I was doing craft sales I bought 5 yard lengths.) out on the floor or table (I use my bed or couch and pin it down.). Fold netting to make several layers into a long rectangle, as it came off the bolt. It’s still folded. Try to line up the folded edge as straight as you can. (I put a few pins in to hold the folded piece together.) Step 2 Cut strips 3 to 4 inches in width down the length of the folded rectangle, cutting perpendicular to the end of the fabric to get the longest strips. Cut from the fold out to the opposite edge. Remember it’s folded so the width of the first strip will be double when opened. Therefore cut the first strip narrower(about 1½ inches) . Your first strip (and the last one or two) will be a little irregular when you begin to use it. Your creativity will dictate how to adjust. We are not concerned about perfection here. If you are a perfectionist, buy a machine made scrubbie. If you want a two colored scrubbie cut 1½ to 2 inch strips from both colors and use both strands like one strip. (See the red and white one shown in step 5.) Step 3 Tie the ends of the strips together with a simple knot to form one continuous strip. Wind the strips into a ball if you wish. (I cut the strips as I use them.) Crochet a Simple Scrubbie Step 1 Tie the free end of the strip of nylon net into a slip knot and place the loop over a medium-sized crochet hook, size J or K, and chain four.

In these series the Museum publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of its constituent museums—The Museum of Natural History and the Museum of History and Technology setting forth newly acquired facts in the fields of Anthropology, Biology, History, Geology, and Technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries, to cultural and scientific organizations, and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers from the Museum of Natural History. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902 papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum of Natural History have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions Jrom the United States National Herbarium, and since 1959, in Bulletins titled "Contributions from the Museum of History and Technology," have been gathered shorter papers relating to the collections and research of that Museum.

A Study of Fashionable Silk Veiling, Maline, and Tulle from 1904 by Joanne Dolan A group of silk net, veiling, tulle, and maline, all sheer draping fabrics produced in unique patterns and colors is the subject of this paper. They form part of a larger collection of materials in a variety of fabrications consisting of raffia, feathers, paper, horsehair, sequins, and chenille. The amassed group is contained in a sample book dated Printemps 1904, and suggests that it may have served as a millinery swatch service book. I intend to focus only on the silk draping materials and examine their fabrication, design, and use in millinery during the first decade of the twentieth century. In addition I will draw comparisons to their geometric designs with the universality of geometry as a source of pattern.
