This edited volume on radical dress reforms in East Asia takes a
fresh look at the symbols and languages of modernity in dress and
body. Dress reform movements around the turn of the twentieth
century in the region have received little critical attention as a
multicultural discourse of labor, body, gender identity,
colonialism, and government authority. With contributions by
leading experts of costume/textile history of China, Korea, and
Japan, this book presents up-to-date scholarship using diverse
methodologies in costume history, history of consumption, and
international trade. Thematically organized into sections exploring
the garments and uniforms, accessories, fabrics, and fashion styles
of Asia, this edited volume offers case studies for students and
scholars in an ever-expanding field of material culture including,
but not limited to, economic history, visual culture, art history,
history of journalism, and popular culture. Fashion, Identity, and
Power in Modern Asia stimulates further research on the impact of
modernity and imperialism in neglected areas such as military
uniform, school uniform, women's accessories, hairstyles, and
textile trade.
