An ambitious history of flags, stamps, and currency-and the role they played in US imperialism.

In Imperial Material, Alvita Akiboh reveals how US national identity has been created, challenged, and transformed through embodiments of empire found in US territories, from the US dollar bill to the fifty-star flag.

Akiboh shows how such items became objects of local power, their original intent transmogrified.
