Book Synopsis
With the expanding presence of China in the global economy, Americans more and more look east for goods and trade. Focusing on the trade and consumption of porcelain, tea, and chinoiserie, this title shows that colonial Americans saw themselves as part of a world much larger than just Britain and Europe.

Trade Review
"Caroline Frank's arguments span continents and oceans as they offer a richly diverse history that is rightly global in scope, packed with illuminating details that fit together like a disciplinary puzzle-in-the-making." (Robert St. George, University of Pennsylvania)"
