Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, (2009) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - A book which profiles nine quilters - "eight women and one man, ranging from teenagers to octogenarians, representing an array of education and income levels, and living across the United States, including Alaska. . From the displays of Harriet Powers's creations at the turn of the twentieth century to the contemporary exhibits of such black art-quilts as those promoted by Carolyn Mazloomi, and such utilitarian expressions as the celebrated examples from Gee's Bend, Alabama, Turner uses quilts to assess the level of control African Americans have had or have not had over the materials they craft and the art they leave as legacy to new generations." Foreword by Kyra E. Hicks. Illustrated with color photographs. INSCRIBED on the title page and dated in the year of publication. Notes, index. xii, 216 pp. ISBN: 978-1604731316.
