  Dress, Body, Culture
  Series Editor Joanne B. Eicher, Regents’ Professor, University of Minnesota
  Books in this provocative series seek to articulate the connections between culture and dress which
  is defined here in its broadest possible sense as any modification or supplement to the body.
  Interdisciplinary in approach, the series highlights the dialogue between identity and dress,
  cosmetics, coiffure, and body alterations as manifested in practices as varied as plastic surgery,
  tattooing, and ritual scarification. The series aims, in particular, to analyze the meaning of dress in
  relation to popular culture and gender issues and will include works grounded in anthropology,
  sociology, history, art history, literature, and folklore.
