Peer reviewedBrown, Elsa Barkley – Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, 1989
Describes the qualities of African-American quilts. Explains how to organize a classroom to reflect the polyrhythmic structure of the African-American culture and its quilts. This allows students to experience a different culture and therefore judge it by its own standards rather than by the norms of White middle-class America. (JS)
