"Textiles from Burma introduces the richness of textile traditions, lavishly illustrated with examples from the James Henry Green collection at Brighton Museum, and from other collections around the world." "The volume introduces themes relating to the history, production, meaning, collection and continuing impact of textiles from Burma. It explores these themes in social, cultural and wider contexts. It investigates aspects of collecting and documentation in colonial and modern times, examining the histories and identities that are made and re-made as textiles are collected and written about."--BOOK JACKET.
