Abstract

L'A. etudie la maniere dont les esclaves afro-americains du 18 eme siecle testaient les limites du systeme non seulement en s'appropriant les articles de l'habillement de l'elite mais en combinant les elements du vetement du Blanc d'une maniere que l'elite blanche considerait souvent comme inappropriee. Il montre comment les esclaves du 19 eme siecle, impliques dans la manufacture des vetements d'esclaves, ont introduit une esthetique afro-americaine distincte. Les vetements hauts en couleur etaient exhibes les dimanches, aux mariages et au festival de Jonkonnu
