Libra Publishers, inc., 1994) Eicher, Joanne B.; Baizerman, Suzanne; Michelman, JohnThrough observation and interviews of high school students, the role of dress in a non-psychiatric population was explored in order to provide data complimentary to the first phase of a larger research project. Adolescent dress was examined in relation to three dimensions of the self: the public, private and secret self. Due to the age of subjects and the length of contact with the interviewer, results provided most information about the public self, particularly descriptions of social types -- categories based on appearance and behavior. These types included a modal [sic], or "average," type and more extreme types appeared to offer valuable reference points for "average" adolescents in the development of their individual identities.Item African dress as an art form(Michigan State University Press, 1972-11) Eicher, Joanne B.Item African dress: form, action, meaning [including a select bibliography of African dress.(Africana Publishing, 1987) Thieme, Otto C.; Eicher, Joanne B.Item The American groom wore a Celtic kilt:Theme weddings as canivalesque events(Berg Publishers, 2003) Winge, Theresa M.; Eicher, Joanne B.Item Anthropology of Dress(Maney Publishing;Costume Society of America, 2000) Eicher, Joanne B.Item Book review: Fashion's world cities.(Sage, 2009) Eicher, Joanne B.Item Clothing Opinions and the Social Acceptance Process Among Adolescents(Libra Publishers, 1973) Eicher, Joanne B.; Littrell, Mary BishopItem Clothing:A Cultural Habit.(University of Wisconsin, 1967-06) Eicher, Joanne B.Item Cut and drawn:Textile work from Nigeria(1982) Eicher, Joanne B.; Erekosima, Tonye V.; Liedholm, CarlItem Definition and classification of dress:Implications for analysis of gender roles(Berg Publishers, Inc., 1992) Eicher, Joanne B.; Roach, Mary E.

The first article focused on the performance of two versions of Hmong American New Year and how dress is used by Hmong Americans to make sense of their position between the cultural world of the past and contemporary American culture. This paper centers on the transmission and reconstruction of female gender roles in the American context as expressed through women’s headdress worn to the Hmong American New Year celebration. Both uses of dress arose out of attempts to reconcile the cultural life of the past with their lives in the United States; both are expressed visually through the dressed and evaluated body within the context of the Hmong New Year celebration. Key Words: ritual, material culture, dress, HmongItem Usi delle perle in una societa' africana: i Kalabari della Nigeria. Una Societa locale o globalizzata?(Grafo Edizioni, 1996) Eicher, Joanne B.The Kalabari people of Nigeria live in the Niger Delta, four degrees above the equator. For several hundred years they have traded textiles and other artifacts across the Sahara and by sea. They use these imported items as visible markers to differentiate them from other Nigerian ethnic groups. Within Kalabari society, textiles also distinguish one lineage group from another, and are often described as "belonging" specifically to a lineage. In addition to textiles, necklaces, particularly Italian coral, canes, and beads in hats, are part of men's and women's ensembles relating to hierarchies of age and social positions within each gender. One specific pillbox style hat, worn by several women in the Jackreece lineage is decorated with many large (3-4 inches long) and fragile, blown-glass lace beads, claimed to be of Venetian origin and dating back to the late 1800s (Francis 1994: 6). Members of the Jackreece lineage on the Kalabari island of Bugma, give an account about the origin and importance of this bead. The account indicates the role of a material artifact in reinforcing lineage prestige and prominence. This beads links the Venetian islands with those of the Kalabari and speak to the issue of the intersection of global and local worlds.
