ConclusionReviewsA model work of synthesis - lucid, lively, accessible, globally informed, stuffed with rich and fascinating examples, making good use of theory and comparison, and approaching its topic from economic, political, social and cultural points of view. Peter Burke, University of Cambridge Robert Ross admirably weaves the history of dress into the broader contours of modernization and the rise and fall of western imperialism.
