• W1608735795 abstract "In different ways, power is represented, constituted, articulated, and contested through dress. Dress functions as a compelling political language, comparable in eloquence and potency to the words of the most skilled orator or the writings of the most persuasive propagandist. In Africa, dress provided a powerful arena for colonial relations to be enacted and challenged, and served as a method of cultural expression and resistance. Moreover, dress revealed dimensions of political and social transformations that could not be discerned through observed behavior or verbal and written articulations. It is impossible to generalize how each colonial power utilized clothing to assert domination, or how various African nations employed the politics of dress in response.

Professor Teufelsdrockh, Sartor Resartus The way people clothe themselves, together with the tradition of dress and finery that custom implies, constitutes the most distinctive form of a society’s uniqueness, that is to say the one that is most immediately perceptible...great areas of civilization, immense cultural regions, can be grouped together on the basis of original, specific techniques of men’s and women’s dress.

It is impossible to generalize how each colonial power utilized clothing to assert domination, or how various African nations employed the politics of dress in response. In Swaziland and South Africa, Africans manipulated Western fabric to suit their own cultural agenda. In Algeria, choice of dress played a key role in the success of the Algerian war of resistance against French cultural aggression. In Tanzania and Zanzibar, clothing was used to display affiliation with anti-Western sentiment. Among the Masai of Tanzania, traditional dress served as a point of conflict on the country’s path towards modernity. Despite the differing circumstances in each country, dress consistently provided a battleground for Africans to assert their culture and build nationalism in the 1 John and Jean Comaroff, Of Revelation and Revolution: The dialectics of modernity on a South African frontier (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 1997), 222. 2 Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism (New York: Grove Press, Inc., 1967), 35." @default.
