Clutario analyzes the impact of sartorial material culture on people and empire, highlighting the centrality of clothes, cloth, and spectacle during this colonial period. The book delves into the sartorial practices of Filipina women, the role of spectacle in reaffirming U.S. economic stability, the transnational Philippine beautification industry, and the use of fashion to reaffirm identity and challenge social hierarchies. Clutario's research is thorough and provides valuable insights into the intersections of gender, empire, race, and class in the Philippines. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of World History is the property of University of Hawai'i and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
