{"product_id":"persuasion-and-propaganda-joan-coutu-9780773531307","title":"Persuasion and Propaganda: Monuments and the Eighteenth-Century British Empire","description":"In the eighteenth century, sugar planters, merchants, aristocrats, politicians, and governments erected hundreds of commemorative monuments throughout the British Empire as expressions of social status, personal dynasties, territorial occupation, and imperial ambitions. In a culture transformed by the rising merchant class, these monuments - inherently public and hopefully permanent - underscored the economic, political, and cultural complexities of the emerging empire. Lavishly illustrated, Persuasion and Propaganda is the first study of these works of art within the framework of colonial politics and political culture. While examining the rise of the idea of the public in the modern world, Joan Coutu also explores how empire was constantly being redefined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Coutu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773531300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773531307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Joan Coutu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065116406015,"sku":"9780773531307","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d030bc13-bc96-4084-ad95-d91cba16e405.jpg?v=1768673098","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/persuasion-and-propaganda-joan-coutu-9780773531307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
