Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. National costumes enable a country or region to express their cultural identity through clothing and styles. This book focuses on the national costumes of the Americas, including the guayabera of Cuba, the Jamaican quadrille dress, the Mexican sombrero, the Panama Hat, the Venezuelan liqui liqui suit, Cowboy boots, the costumes of Carnivals and Mardi Gras, and much more. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
