註釋

Cloth has been a vital form of expression in West Africa for over 2,000 years. It serves as a visual record of historical events and reflects social change. It has changed the economies of West Africa (and its trading partners) even as its use has been shaped by those changes. It has served as a way to limit political power, and it has given a form of political expression to the common consumer. An examination of the way cloth has reflected and affected change in West Africa can lead to a more complete understanding of contemporary and future events.
