Commodity, culture and colonialism are intimately related and
mutually constitutive. The desire for commodities drove colonial
expansion at the same time that colonial expansion fuelled
technological invention, created new markets for goods, displaced
populations and transformed local and indigenous cultures in
dramatic and often violent ways. This book analyses the
transformation of local cultures in the context of global
interaction in the period 1851-1914. By focusing on episodes in the
social and cultural lives of commodities, it explores some of the
ways in which commodities shaped the colonial cultures of global
modernity. Chapters by experts in the field examine the production,
circulation, display and representation of commodities in various
regional and national contexts, and draw on a range of theoretical
and disciplinary approaches. An integrated, coherent and urgent
response to a number of key debates in postcolonial and Victorian
studies, world literature and imperial history, this book will be
of interest to researchers with interests in migration, commodity
culture, colonial history and transnational networks of print and
ideas.
