#Repost @renderingrevolution • • • • • • On the islands of Saint-Louis and Gorée, off the coast of present-day Senegal, headwraps were central to the self-styling of signares, a class of mixed-race women who reigned over these islands and wielded economic power through commercial networks and interests in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. As the progeny of several generations of concubinage between African women and European men, signares used their connections with white men to their advantage. Travel writers described these women as expressing power through their self-presentation, most notably their headdresses. Antoine-Edmé Pruneau de Pommegorge spent twenty-two years in West Africa as a merchant and described the signares’ headwraps as follows: “They wear a very artistically arranged white handkerchief on the head, over which they affix a small narrow black ribbon, or a colored one, around their head.” According to George E. Brooks, this white handkerchief headwrap would evolve into a “striking cone-shaped turban, artfully constructed with as many as nine colored handkerchiefs,” and would become “the hallmark of signares in Senegal and the Gambia.” Senegalese model Khoudia Diop (@melaniin.goddess) was styled as a signare in Gorée, embodying the spirit of the women who asserted their presence on the island through their sartorial ingenuity. #renderingrevolution https://instagr.am/p/CFPWeKpg-F6/ Follow #ADPhD on IG: @afrxdiasporaphd
