Sommario/riassunto: Through engaging interdisciplinary analysis of commercial themes, this book interprets under-appreciated interactions between China and a very young United States in the first decades after the American Revolutionary War. With its attention to visual culture, Narratives of Free Trade yields a fresh interpretation of documents that are crucial to understanding the evolving relationship between two of the twenty-first century's superpowers.
