In this wide-ranging account, Robert DuPlessis examines globally
sourced textiles that by dramatically altering consumer behaviour,
helped create new economies and societies in the early modern
world. This deeply researched history of cloth and clothing offers
new insights into trade patterns, consumer demand and sartorial
cultures that emerged across the Atlantic world between the
mid-seventeenth and late-eighteenth centuries. As a result of
European settlement and the construction of commercial networks
stretching across much of the planet, men and women across a wide
spectrum of ethnicities, social standings and occupations fashioned
their garments from materials old and new, familiar and strange,
and novel meanings came to be attached to different fabrics and
modes of dress. The Material Atlantic illuminates crucial
developments that characterised early modernity, from colonialism
and slavery to economic innovation and new forms of social
identity.
