The author examines the global textile trade alongside early Atlantic printing and papermaking and considers how these two related media were fundamental to the social fabrication of Atlantic subjects and Creole societies"--Provided by publisher.

Contents: I. The empire's new clothes: British publics and imperial politics, 1650-1720 -- Patterns for plantation: New World silk and the natural history of settler colonialism -- Indo-Atlantic modernity: the early cotton trade and the emergence of racial capitalism -- II. Revolutionary threads: new world publics and insurgent economies, 1750-1800 -- The republic of homespun: material economies of the American Revolution -- Materializing the Black Atlantic: African captives, Caribbean slaves, and Creole fashioning -- III. The fabric of American empire: imagined communities and new geographies, 1600-1865 -- Oriental America: silk geographies in the era of the early republic -- Empires in rags: hemispheric American material and literary texts -- Epilogue: weaving revolution in the global south.
