Our daughter-in-law, Schelley gave a copy of “The Great African Bangle Culture” to the costume designer Ruth Carter who is celebrating her third Oscar nomination, this time for Best Costume Designer for the film “Black Panther,” directed by Ryan Coogler.
Carter’s costumes featured in Black Panther are recognized not just for their use of color but also for the explicit celebration of traditional African designs.
We hope she enjoys reading the book and learning more about the history of a well-founded, sophisticated and wholly African culture quite different from anything else in the world.
