This book looks at the encounter between dress and the body. In the social sciences, dress tends to be viewed as a form of communication, a way in which the wearer gives expression to his or her ideas or situation. Bodywork, rather than looking at what people do with their clothes, looks at what clothes do with the wearers.In the context of three small West African communities Muslim, Christian and Animist the book describes the dress styles and dress practices of the villagers and shows how a particular way of dressing influences the bodys demeanour and habit. It considers thereby the role played by dress in the enculturation of the body.
