- Summary:
- Ahiagble Bob Dennis states in the afterword of this book that "all kente weavers. Ashanti or Ewe, should join hands and promote quality kente weaving and its accessories all over the world...in order to maintain and develop further this authentic cultural gift for the world's pleasure." This colorful, beautifully crafted and illustrated book is a fine achievement of this endeavor. It tells the story of Ewe kente: how the cloth is produced by families of traditional weavers in the towns and villages of the southern Volta region; how it is worn on special occasions by the man and women of Ghana; and what the different designs, patterns, and colors mean and symbolize.
