Beschreibung

Grass Crafts Endure explores the survival and evolution of Shona grass crafts within Zimbabwe's urban landscape, revealing how these traditions persist amidst rapid urbanization. This book examines the economic significance of these crafts, noting how they provide crucial income for urban Shona communities. Moreover, it highlights the fascinating adaptation of traditional techniques to suit modern tastes, demonstrating the dynamic nature of cultural preservation in a globalized world.

 
The study begins by establishing the historical roots of Shona grass crafts and then progresses to analyze their economic impact, adaptations in design, and role in maintaining cultural identity. It employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating ethnographic research with market analysis to uncover the intricate balance between tradition and modernity.

 
These crafts, traditionally passed down through families, now serve as both a source of livelihood and a powerful symbol of cultural heritage, challenging assumptions about the decline of traditions in urban settings.
