The essays in this collection challenge Euro- and US-centric perceptions that bind luxury to either a colonial past or a consumerist present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book announces a new collective of thinkers who focus on Indigenous and Canadian instances of luxurious production, experiences and sites to propose a new definition of luxury. Each of the interdisciplinary contributions analyses luxury from different vantage points to understand why luxury has succeeded or failed in the Canadian context. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the history of the fur trade to the latest Indigenous fashion movement, from the T. Eaton Co.'s 1920s Made-in-Canada campaign to the on-again-off-again Toronto Fashion Week, from Vancouver public art commissions to Montr饌l's future-forward fashiontech sector, the essays explain what makes and breaks Canadian luxury. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese original case studies redefine luxury for Canada--a former colonial possession and contemporary second-tier cultural market--and lay the foundation for the critical study of luxury in other historically secondary geographies that produce, consume and circulate material and symbolic luxuries. The collection challenges old myths and the mystique surrounding luxury to give it a new lustre that shines light on those actors who have been historically excluded from its privilege: Indigenous peoples, immigrants and the working classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Clark, Nigel Lezama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789385156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789385151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Intellect (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Jessica Clark","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077399179519,"sku":"9781789385151","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f90f9438-0bc9-4d70-88ff-3f9b6edec388.jpg?v=1685469760","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/canadian-critical-luxury-studies-jessica-clark-9781789385151","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
