Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Claremont Graduate University, 2006.

This dissertation focuses on the critique and development of theoretical paradigms for African American quilt scholarship. It also reveals the impact of certain approaches on African American quilt research and considers the potential for paradigm shifts designed to improve our approach and yield more useful outcomes. I critique prevailing theories of African American quilt aesthetics and deconstruct areas of contestation which African American quilters believe cause harm to their overall community. I offer pragmatic remedies to these charges of harm and ground my arguments in the discursive discourse of cultural studies.

520 $a This dissertation focuses on the critique and development of theoretical paradigms for African American quilt scholarship. It also reveals the impact of certain approaches on African American quilt research and considers the potential for paradigm shifts designed to improve our approach and yield more useful outcomes. I critique prevailing theories of African American quilt aesthetics and deconstruct areas of contestation which African American quilters believe cause harm to their overall community. I offer pragmatic remedies to these charges of harm and ground my arguments in the discursive discourse of cultural studies.
520 $a The study relies on transdisciplinary methodology drawing from African American studies, black feminist ethnography, ethnomathematics, genealogy studies, African American art history, cultural studies, subaltern studies, and quilt studies. Within this rubric I problematize insular scholarship as well as the practice of viewing African American quilts through a white Eurocentric aesthetic of art for art's sake, while voicing African American quiltmakers as objects rather than subjects of their own history. I discuss the role of African American quilts as cultural commentary, strategic defiance, and identity signifiers. I also demonstrate how other disciplines inform the unique role of African American quilters as cultural preservationists.
520 $a I confront difficulties in obtaining authentic information about African American quilting practices in light of overarching societal and racial relationships. Through autoethnographic inquiry and oral history methodology, I discuss agency and self-advocacy for African American quilters. I conclude the position of African American quilters as subjects, located at the center of the academic discourse, is the most effective method to recognize authentic African American contributions to American quilt history. I highlight new trends and emerging hybrid identities among African American quiltmakers. The study chronicles the emergence of quilt studies as a bona fide field of scholarly inquiry which is poised to assume a leadership role in voicing subaltern African American quilt artists, both past and present. Ultimately this projects stands as a launching point for future research and provides an outline for a model of comprehensive African American quilt scholarship.
