Professor Maya Stanfield Mazzi was awarded a Publication Subvention Grant to support her book, Clothing the New World Church: Liturgical Textiles of Spanish America, 1520–1820, to be published by the University of Notre Dame Press. This book takes a hemispheric look at the many forms of textile art fashioned for the adornment of churches, priests and church attendants, and statues of saints. By exploring the connections between important fabrics and the work of Amerindian artists, this book sees cloth as key to establishing and maintaining Catholicism in the New World.
