Global history is predicated on connections and exchange: how
connections between far-flung people, places, and objects are
forged through a variety of exchanges. As world history has matured
as a field, its practitioners have found the movement of
commodities between peoples, places, and time a fruitful vehicle
for research and teaching. Studies of 'bulk' items like salt,
spices, coffee, and other globally-traded commodities abound, but
few scholars have examined the role of luxury goods from a global
perspective. This anthology charts the many different contexts in
which luxury objects have been used across the globe, ranging from
the social practices linked to these objects to their production,
exchange, and consumption, as well as how these practices varied
over time and space and how different societies attributed diverse
meanings to the same objects. Using luxury goods as a conduit,
Luxury in Global Perspective enriches our understanding of global
history.
