Book Synopsis
In the late nineteenth century, the United States was known internationally as a place full of gaudiness and glitter. This book argues that this reputation was rooted in early nineteenth-century British and European ethnic nationalism, and the fashion of wearing colourful ethnic costuming that was adopted as part of these movements.
