Ecologies of cotton
By focusing on the nineteenth-century cotton trade, this essay examines how the circumstances affecting the cultivation of the cotton plant and consequently its manufacture into yarn and cloth – the ecologies of cotton, in short – variously inform literary and cultural texts that have hitherto been read as discrete and disconnected. Analyzing aspects of Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton (1848) and a poem/song by the late nineteenth-early twentieth-…

Antoinette Burton and Isabel Hofmeyr, editors. Ten Books That Shaped the British Empire: Creating an Imperial Commons

Reflecting on Sunil Bhatia's American Karma and Radika Mohanram's Imperial White (which respectively deal with the contemporary Indian diaspora and the nineteenth-century "British diaspora"), the essay explores the extent to which the formulation of "white Britishness" in the colonies, as well as the self-representatio…
