Sussman (English, U. of Colorado-Boulder) investigates why boycotts have proved so influential over the past two centuries, and why it was particularly powerful in anticolonial struggles. She seeks answers in literary works by Jonathan Swift, Tobias Smollett, and others and in 18th-century political and economic discourses connected with consumer culture and colonialism. Annotation c.
