Commodities of Empire Working Papers

The Commodities of Empire Working Papers series provides a space in which both members of the Commodities of Empire project, and others whose research is related to the aims of this project, can publish their findings in a form that enables rapid dissemination in the public domain. It is hoped that this will help to stimulate debate, and further develop project-related knowledge and ideas.
