Empire of Cotton: A Global History

bySven Beckert

Empire of Cotton examines a Global History, combining Sven Beckert's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
