Mark Joseph O'Connell: Canadian Fashion Economies, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A vital re-examination of Canadian cultural and commercial history told through key fashion objects from First Nations, colonial settlers, and contemporary Canadian culture.
>Using vivid object-based research, O'Connell maps out pre-colonial economic networks spanning the entire continent, global colonial textile and fur trades, and the material culture of French and English migrant populations in the 'New World', and equips readers with a framework for more nuanced and inclusive histories of Canadian culture and commerce.

Unexpected, overlooked stories emerge as central to Canada's fashion history, from hybrid fashion cultures to re-used textiles in settler communities, and O'Connell highlights contemporary Canadian artists and designers who point to new possibilities to reclaim and preserve this cultural heritage.
