Abstract
This chapter focuses on the symbolics of clothing as true example of political economy in everyday practice. Like political language, clothes are both put on and regarded. Clothing also conveys status and can open expanded possibilities for expression, judgment, and identification. The chapter discusses the relationship between clothing and politics, Thomas Jefferson's politics of clothing, and how African Americans became political subjects in part through debates about the clothing of slaves in antebellum South.
