In the beginning was basketry. Around the world, the intertwining of fibers by hand to form a container is a most ancient of crafts. It is older than pottery and metalwork, older than loom weaving. Woven from the Center presents breathtaking basketry from some of the greatest weavers in the Southwest. Each sandal and mat fragment, each bowl and jar, every water bottle and whimsy is infused with layers of aesthetic, cultural, and historical meanings. This book offers stunning photos and descriptions of woven works from Tohono O’odham, Akimel O’odham, Hopi, Western Apache, Yavapai, Navajo, Pai, Paiute, New Mexico Pueblo, Eastern Apache, Seri, Yaqui, Mayo, and Tarahumara communities. This richly illustrated volume stands on its own as a definitive look at basketry of the Greater Southwest, including northern Mexico. It also serves as a companion to the peerless collection of U.S. Southwest and Northwest Mexican Native American basketry curated at the Arizona State Museum in Tucson, Arizona. Comprehensive in its coverage, this work is based on decades of research on weavers, collectors, and donors. It includes ample illustrations of basket weavers, past and present, bringing to life the people behind these wonderful woven treasures.

"The Twin Rocks Trading Post Collection comprises nearly 250 remarkable baskets woven by Members of the Navajo Nation from the Utah Strip of the Navajo reservation. The collection illustrates the extraordinary renaissance of the art of Navajo basket weaving, an art form practiced by only a few Utah weavers and virtually unknown by navajos elsewhere on the reservation. This volume documents the collection and the stories behind the renaissance, which has become a revolution of sorts - a revolution of design that has yielded a beautiful expression of navajo culture."--p.24.

"Guatemala is a land of contrasts: stunning mountain, river, and cloud forest landscapes with the constant threat of volcanic eruptions, mudslides, earthquakes, and brutal upheavals. Against this backdrop, the indigenous Maya and their Ladino compatriots persist in creating some of the loveliest and most colorful textiles the world has known. Their weaving, spinning, and basketmaking have sustained them economically and culturally against the pressures of change and a thirty-six year armed conflict that decimated their population. In Traditional Weavers of Guatemala, twenty artisans share their personal histories, hopes, and dreams along with the products of their hands and looms"--Inside cover.

Her people lost everything when the usurper, Atoc, used an ancient relic to summon ghosts and drive the Illustrians from La Ciudad. Now Ximena’s motivated by her insatiable thirst for revenge, and her rare ability to spin thread from moonlight. When Atoc demands the real Condesa’s hand in marriage, it’s Ximena’s duty to go in her stead. She relishes the chance, as Illustrian spies have reported that Atoc’s no longer carrying his deadly relic. If Ximena can find it, she can return the true aristócrata to their rightful place. She hunts for the relic, using her weaving ability to hide messages in tapestries for the resistance. But when a masked vigilante, a warm-hearted princesa, and a thoughtful healer challenge Ximena, her mission becomes more complicated. There could be a way to overthrow the usurper without starting another war, but only if Ximena turns her back on revenge—and her Condesa.
