Kristin Hoganson, Consumers' Imperium: The Global Production of American Domesticity, 1865-1920 U. of North Carolina Press, 2007
Empire isn't just enacted abroad. It also affects, in profound ways, people living in the imperial metropole. In the volume Colonial Crucible, Natalie Ring reveals that domestic attitudes toward the US South were influenced by imperialist adventures in tropical locales, and Kristin Hoganson describes how turn-of-the-twentieth-century US consumers "bought into empire."
