In Ghana, adinkra and kente textiles derive their significance from their association with both Asante and Ghanaian cultural nationalism. Adinkra, made by stenciling patterns with black dye, and kente, a type of strip weaving, each convey the bearers identity, social status, and even emotional state. Yet both textiles have been widely mass-produced outside Ghana without any compensation to the originators of the designs. In The Copyright Thing Doesnt Work Here, Boatema Boateng focuses on the appropriation and protection of adinkra and kente cloth in order to examine the broader implications of the use of intellectual property law to preserve folklore and other traditional forms of knowledge.
