Abstract
- In this welcome monograph, Felicity Barnes expands our understanding of the marketing and commodity culture that tied the dominions and the metropole together in the interwar period especially. Selling Britishness: Commodity Culture, the Dominions and Empire: By Felicity Barnes. Perhaps Barnes' largest point of argument is that, while ostensibly dominion marketing was intended to boost Canada, Australia and New Zealand's economies and thus their national autonomy, it worked to build a shared Britishness.
