Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Model and the Use of Imported Madras Cloth Among the Kalabari
The father of a Kalabari newborn child in Nigeria ceremoniously delivers a piece of Indian madras cloth to the mother of the child to carry it. This personal emblem of entry into society also marks the individual's departurefrom life when family mourners dress the corpse for burial. We assess the significance of Kalabari involvement with a material culture item, Indian madras cloth, by placing it in the context of an ecological systems model firs…

From African-American women's headwraps to beauty pageants in Swaziland, this absorbing book explores ethnicity through the frequently noticed but less often analyzed human phenomenon of dress.

Development of a theoretical framework for understanding linkages between identity and dress depends on careful selection and definition of terms and development of a broad, holistic view of Social Aspects of Dress.

Properties of these modifications and supplements can be cross-classified with sensory responses they evoke. Because dress functions as …

The distinctive aesthetic of the Kalabari people derives from the geographic, historical, and social conditions of the Niger delta, where they have held a strategic position in trade since the 1400s (Jones 1963). Situated near the coast of southeastern Nigeria, the Kalabari acted as intermediaries between hinterland communities and the larger world.
