Cultural Economies explores the dynamic intersection of material
culture and transatlantic formations of "capital" in the long
eighteenth century. It brings together two cutting-edge fields of
inquiry-Material Studies and Atlantic Studies-into a generative
collection of essays that investigate nuanced ways that capital,
material culture, and differing transatlantic ideologies
intersected. This ambitious, provocative work provides new
interpretive critiques and methodological approaches to
understanding both the material and the abstract relationships
between humans and objects, including the objectification of
humans, in the larger current conversation about capitalism and
inevitably power, in the Atlantic world. Chronologically bracketed
by events in the long-eighteenth century circum-Atlantic, these
essays employ material case studies from littoral African states,
to abolitionist North America, to Caribbean slavery, to medicinal
practice in South America, providing both broad coverage and
nuanced interpretation. Holistically, Cultural Economies
demonstrates that the eighteenth-century Atlantic world of capital
and materiality was intimately connected to both large and small
networks that inform the hemispheric and transatlantic geopolitics
of capital and nation of the present day.
