Book excerpt: This is an analysis of the sociological and economic causes of the demise of certain traditions, such as the glowing, rich phulkaris of the Punjab. Also discussed are women embroiderers, working in traditions that are centuries old, but new to the marketplace and urban lifestyles. The book provides a moving account of the rites of passage of Rabari women who, empowered through their embroidery, have become their own designers and entrepreneurs, It shows through color photographs and text how craft has not only been a catalyst for personal growth and social and economic change but has also created new conflicts and challenges. Women who worked to their own rhythms and creative impulses now craft to tunes others play. Cultural influences from the outside world have infiltrated their aesthetic and homes. The articles included describe textiles and skills still used by people for themselves, rather than the courtly textiles of yesteryear. While India is poised between past and future, craft still maintains its place.
