- Abstract:
An essay is presented which examines the relationship between 21st-century craftivism, or social activism which makes use of crafts, and American historical discourses of self-sufficiency. According to the author, urban craftivists often use historic folkways and discourses of memory with the intent to create a new world order linking tradition and sustainability. Topics discussed include feminism, environmentalism, anticapitalism, and antiviolence.
