Back to the Villages

Back to the Villages is how I refer to a cherished dream to bring my book, Legacy in Cloth: Batak Textiles of Indonesia to North Sumatra. The project took place in June 2010. Only now, upon the conclusion of this project, do I feel that my book is finally finished!....more

Before, during and after my return with my book to North Sumatra I blogged about the project.  Although all the posts are here on this blog the aim of this page is to pull all the individual posts together and list them as a set of links:
