This book was... fine? I'm not super into colonial histories of Anglo America in the first place (I think they're boring) and this didn't feel like. Groundbreaking, though I guess if you're looking for like. Some archival narration that aligns with things already said about fashion re: homespun movements and anti-importation. That is perhaps unfair of me, but the book as a whole just didn't click with me on any level. If you LIKE these kinds of books, though, you will probably like it a lot!
