In this innovative collaborative ethnography of Italian-Chinese
ventures in the fashion industry, Lisa Rofel and Sylvia J.
Yanagisako offer a new methodology for studying transnational
capitalism. Drawing on their respective linguistic and regional
areas of expertise, Rofel and Yanagisako show how different
historical legacies of capital, labor, nation, and kinship are
crucial in the formation of global capitalism. Focusing on how
Italian fashion is manufactured, distributed, and marketed by
Italian-Chinese ventures and how their relationships have been
complicated by China's emergence as a market for luxury goods, the
authors illuminate the often-overlooked processes that produce
transnational capitalism-including privatization, negotiation of
labor value, rearrangement of accumulation, reconfiguration of
kinship, and outsourcing of inequality. In so doing, Fabricating
Transnational Capitalism reveals the crucial role of the state and
the shifting power relations between nations in shaping the ideas
and practices of the Italian and Chinese partners.
