Requests:  0 Summary:  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   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 680.973 Ad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 680.973 Ad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 680.973 Adamson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 680.973 Ad Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 680.973 Ad Checked In Add Copy to MyList
