- W1557204623 abstract "My paper deals with samplers, i.e. pieces of needlework, that were produced by African girls in mission schools in Sierra Leone in the first half of the nineteenth century. Today, they are museum exhibits and collectors’ items. I have traced 13 pieces in museums and private collections on four continent (but not in Africa). These samplers are fascinating objects which tell two different stories: the story of their production and the story of their use. The former is part of the history of missionary/ colonial education for girls (and specifically liberated and colony-born girls) in Sierra Leone. It raises questions about the transfer and appropriation of knowledge and skills, the relationship between (female) teachers and (female) pupils, family, work and exploitation. The story of the samplers’ use is part of the larger story of mission fundraising and propaganda, of women’s role as sponsors of Christian missions, as well as the question of the appropriation and use of African material culture by museums and collectors today." @default.
