  Focusing on counter and sub-cultural contexts, this book investigates the role of dress in the creation and assertion of Black identity. From the home-dressmaking of Jamaican women, through to the Harlem Renaissance and contemporary streetstyles, Black Britons, African Americans and Jamaicans have been establishing a variety of Black identities.
