Summary : Malay society of the past has usually been characterized by the presence of the peasantry, a pre-modern class of producers, tied to the land and beholden to a feudalistic or feudal-like ruling structure. In contrast, this book explores the diversity which in fact colours the economic history of the Malays. The subject of this book is a relatively unknown class of people, the handloom weavers, who played a decisive role in the economies of the eastern Malay states of Terengganu, Kelantan, and Pahang. Today, the products of these handloom weavers, the beautiful hand-woven sarongs and cloths, grace the most elegant and auspicious of occasions. What is the story behind the vicissitudes, often brutal, of textile production in the early or proto-industrial phases of the Malay economy? Why was the handloom industry, at its height, halted from realizing its full potential of trans-forming into a full-fledged industrial manufacture? What exactly is the putting-out system of production and how did men and women actualize their roles in such production regimes? Why did the putting-out system endure? In answering such questions this book explores the origins of the Malay handloom industry, its technology, its people, and its turbulent relationship with the ambitions of both the colonial and modern nation-states.

Summary : The book explores the links between mythology and weaving of the island of Savu and examines how textiles have formed the fabric of Savunese society throughout time. Ikat weavings of Savu are exceptional in the sense that they act as markers of historical events. They have a heraldic significance and can be "read" like a text. They also form a language expressing the socio-political structure of Savunese society. In this era of globalization and the resulting threat to small-scale societies it is the author's hope that this book will contribute to the protection of the work of traditional weavers and to the recognition of their unique cultural heritage.-from Amazon.

Summary : The book has been prepared considering the dire need of the students. It is indeed intriguing to note that no text books are available, that cover the entire sequence of processes in the area of weaving preparation. Students therefore had to refer to a number of books. The unique feature of the book is that it meets the syllabi requirements of the universities/polytechnics. The book is divided into four divisions, namely, winding, warping, sizing, and drawing. A special chapter has been devoted to the preparatory aspects of micro denier yarns. Also the latest BTRA norms are included. This makes the book very valuable to students. The topic on winding covers all the basic aspects of the winding process, technological developments, winding aspects of sewing threads, and winding of packages for dyeing. The section in warping discusses about the types of warping, productivity, quality related aspects and modern developments. The section on sizing deals with the basic process, principle, chemistry, developments and quality control. The readers will find the book to be very useful for teaching as well as learning.
