While recorded history was cut into stones and written down on tablets, scrolls, and in books, a lot of un-recorded history was preserved in handmade folk arts - woven, carved, and painted on everyday handmade objects people used for hundreds and even thousands of years. Handmade History: World History Through Folk Arts and Crafts takes young readers on a globe-spanning journey discovering these handmade treasures that have survived empires and carried the voices of everyday people across centuries. From Persian carpets and Ghana's Kente cloth to Appalachian quilts, Scottish tartans, Italian maiolica, and Turkish coffee pots, this book reveals how folk art is an enduring record of faith, resistance, and cultural identity, as well as survival through wars, migrations, colonization, and transition into the era of mass-produced goods and consumer society.
