- W2321879613 abstract "This interdisciplinary and multiscalar project,utilizing historical archaeology, anthropology and history, tracesa longue duree of the ivory trade between East Africa and NewEngland. In the mid-19th century, the ivory trade between EastAfrica and western centers of manufacture expanded rapidly toaccommodate a booming industry of manufactured ivory in the form ofbilliard balls, piano keys, cutlery handles and hair combs. Thisivory was obtained via caravan trade in the East African interiorin exchange for glass beads, cotton cloth, guns and brass wire.Using an assemblage of ivory objects located in the IvorytonLibrary in Essex, Connecticut, I trace the commodity chain of ivoryfrom the East African interior to the Indian Ocean entrepot ofZanzibar to the ivory-cutting factories of the Connecticut RiverValley. These ivory objects embody an array of material historiesthat weave through grand meta-narratives of global expansion andcapitalist circulation, revealing, ultimately, how material culturecomes to anchor asymmetrical power relationships, across both timeand space. My dissertation follows these objects through theirultimate recasting in local heritage discourse in Ivoryton,concerning New England complicity in the 19th-century slave trade,industrial nostalgia and contemporary elephant conservation in EastAfrica." @default.
