Abstract

Indigenous art forms like textiles have undergone critical transitions to their current form due to the influence of change in the environment. Studies in recent times have identified new creativity by weavers in the major weaving communities. This study therefore seeks to identify the influence and effects of change on colours, techniques, tools and materials as well as gender roles on strip-woven fabrics in Ghana. Qualitative research coupled with case study approach aided to gather relevant data through interviews and observation from master weavers. It was revealed that politics, formal education, technology and modernity have influenced changes in the production of strip fabrics. Notably, embroidery machines play an important role in creating designs on the finished fabrics for the market.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
