Boston was also an independent entity that pursued its own interests and articulated its own identity while selectively appropriating British culture and fashion. This revelatory book examines period dwellings, gravestones, furniture, textiles, ceramics, and silver, revealing through material culture how the inhabitants of Boston were colonial, provincial, metropolitan, and global, all at the same time. Edward S. Cooke, Jr.'s detailed account of materials and furnishing practices demonstrates that Bostonians actively filtered ideas and goods from a variety of sources, combined them with local materials and preferences, and constructed a distinct sense of local identity, a process of hybridization that, the author argues, exhibited a conscious desire to shape a culture as a means to resist a distant, dominant power. 650 0 Decorative arts |zMassachusetts |zBoston |xHistory |y17th century. |=^A1385534 650 0 Decorative arts |zMassachusetts |zBoston |xHistory |y18th century. |=^A1385534 650 7 Decorative arts. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00889315 651 7 Massachusetts |zBoston. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01205012 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1600-1799 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 949 |i30372017333136 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s60.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5152937
