Focusing on the past two centuries, this volume investigates the links among trade, colonialism, and forms of representation, posing the question, 'What is the historical or modern relationship between economic inequality and imperial patterns of representation and reading?' Rather than dealing exclusively with a particular industry or type of industry, the contributors take up the issue of how various economies have been represented in Aboriginal art; in literature by North American, Caribbean, Portuguese, South African, First nation's, Australian, British, and Aboriginal authors; and in a diverse range of writings that includes travel diaries, missionary texts, the findings of the Leprosy Investigation Commission, early medical accounts and media representations of HIV/AIDS. Examining trade in commodities as various as illicit drugs, liquor, bananas, tourism, adventure fiction, and modern Aboriginal art, as well as cultural exchanges in politics, medicine, and literature, the essays reflect the widespread origins of the contributors themselves, who are based throughout the English-speaking world. Taken as a whole, this book contests the commonplace view promoted by some modern economists-that trade in and of itself has a leveling effect, equalising cultures, places, and peoples-demonstrating instead the ways in which commerce has created and exacerbated differences in power."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aColonies$xHistory 606 $aColonies$xCommerce$xHistory 606 $aCommerce$xSocial aspects 615 0$aColonies$xHistory. 615 0$aColonies$xCommerce$xHistory. 615 0$aCommerce$xSocial aspects. 676 $a820.93553 701 $aDale$b Leigh$01800650 701 $aGilbert$b Helen$f1956-$01239154 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bOkU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961311003321 996 $aEconomies of representation, 1790-2000$94345558 997 $aUNINA
