- The editors are senior faculty members who are both established authors in the fields of African studies, dress history, art history, and human geography. They also all have curatorial experience. - This reflection on sources and methods is timely given the resurgence of interest in African fashion within academia, museums, and the fashion world. - The list adds to the list in its clear and vivid exploration of a topic that resonates beyond academia and in its interdisciplinarity and international pool of contributors. - The work will appeal to scholars working in African fashion within academia, musems, the fashion world and scholars working in African studies, museum studies, fashion and design studies, African history, art history, anthropology, and cultural geography.
