112 pages, illustrated with color photographs. Paperback. Shrinkwrapped.A study of Zulu beadwork by perhaps the greatest living expert on the subject.Most of the studies of African art available in this country have been written by outsiders. And, while these accounts can be informative, there is a level of understanding that only an insider can provide. For this reason, Africa Direct is proud to present Zulu Beadwork: Talk with Beads. Its author, Hlengiwe Dube, is a Zulu woman raised in a traditional family. Her relationship with Zulu beadwork is direct and personal, much of it drawn from her own experience or stories passed down by her mother and grandmother. In Zulu Beadwork: Talk with Beads, she makes her expertise available to readers everywhere.In an engaging, conversational style, Dube talks about the unspoken words of traditional beadwork designs. Each color of bead, and each combination of colors, creates a different message. From the white beads that assure a lover, Whenever I see you my heart goes white as the milk of cattle when they are milked in the morning, to the green beads that proclaim, I am going to wait for my husband as he works in Johannesburg, Dube leads us through the fascinating complexities of beadwork messages.Illustrated throughout with beautiful color photographs and including chapters on historical and regional trends, Zulu Beadwork: Talk with Beads is a mustread for anyone interested in learning about African art from the people who create it.
