Early Americans accommodated, adapted, and manipulated their
clothing to adjust to their physical and social environment. This
book focuses on the relationship of dress to the struggle of
indigenous and immigrant Americans to fill expected and unexpected
needs and express political ideologies and ethnic identity. In
doing so the contributors hope to prompt readers to reconsider the
place of dress in the interpretation of American culture. The
casual reader of this book of essays may be surprised to learn that
it has little to do with different styles of clothing or the
vagaries of fashion.
The contributors reveal the politics, or power, of dress,
especially in its function as a symbol of American ideals, and
examine changes in clothing behavior that occurred as Americans
faced new experiences.
