Biography
Mona Domosh is Professor of Geography at Dartmouth College. She is also co-editor of the journal Cultural Geographies
"The publication of American Commodities in an Age of Empire is a welcome addition to the scholarship of late-nineteenth-century commodity cultures. It provides a convincing demonstration of the historical complexity of even the humblest of everyday objects. Domosh’s modifications of our conventional understanding of American narratives of progress, civilization, gender, and race are sophisticated and provocative. The visual materials that she presents are a significant new resource for the intended specialized audience...recommended for all scholars interested in the relationship between factory-made consumer goods, late Victorian-era cultural ideals, and US commercial imperialism." -- Interiors
