Contrary to the prevailing views, British exports to South America were transacted at very high rates during the first decades after independence. This book explores the marketing chain of textile exports to the region and sheds light on South Americans' consumer behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Meticulous research, an imaginative use of evidence, and informed speculation characterize [this book]. Focusing on the British textile trade with South America, Llorca-Jaña offers the first systematic and comprehensive analysis of the commercialization of a key product, drawing on rich new qualitative and quantitative sources … a significant contribution to the study of the emergence of a global economy in the early nineteenth century …' Colin M. Lewis, London School of Economics and Political Science\u003cbr\u003e'Llorca-Jaña's book goes farther than any other in filling the knowledge gap regarding Britain's export trade with the newly independent countries of South America. The work shines a bright new light on a statistical dark age. It is breathtaking in its mining of previously untapped primary sources, especially the records of merchants. Not since Platt's classic study has there been a contribution as substantive as this one.' William Summerhill, University of California, Los Angeles\u003cbr\u003e'Manuel Llorca-Jaña has produced a fine monograph about the textile trade in the Southern Cone of Latin America, pre-eminently Argentina and Chile, and British mercantile activity there during the early nineteenth century … an impressive piece of scholarship. The bibliography alone is immense. The book is … the result of painstaking research in British public and business archives, during which no stone seems to have been left unturned … a pleasurable read because Llorca-Jaña has an easy style: his prose is clear and lucid and his arguments are clearly defined.' Robert G. Greenhill, Journal of Latin American Studies\u003cbr\u003e'In this exceptional monograph, Manuel Llorca-Jaña argues that the southern cone of Latin America (what is today Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile) in the nineteenth century was a large, dynamic, and competitive market for British textiles … an enormous achievement and a substantial increase in our understanding of the early nineteenth century in Latin American trade.'
