Today's world textile and garment trade is valued at a staggering $425 billion. We are told that under the pressure of increasing globalisation, it is India and China that are the new world manufacturing powerhouses. However, this is not a new phenomenon: until the industrial revolution, Asia manufactured great quantities of colourful printed cottons that were sold to places as far afield as Japan, West Africa and Europe. Cotton explores this earlier globalised economy and its transformation after 1750 as cotton led the way in the industrialisation of Europe. By the early nineteenth century, India, China and the Ottoman Empire switched from world producers to buyers of European cotton textiles, a position that they retained for over two hundred years. This is a fascinating and insightful story which ranges from Asian and European technologies and African slavery to cotton plantations in the Americas and consumer desires across the globe.

This collection of essays examines the history of cotton textiles at a global level over the period 1200-1850. It provides new answers to two questions: what is it about cotton that made it the paradigmatic first global commodity? And second, why did cotton industries in different parts of the world follow different paths of development?

A major new approach to the study of the social and economic history of colonial French West Africa, this book traces French efforts to establish a cotton export economy in the French Soudan from the early nineteenth century through the end of World War II. By showing how a regionally based local economy successfully withstood the pressure from European capitalist markets and colonial aspirations, the book sheds new light on various generally accepted assumptions about the character of colonial economies and their integration into global export markets. It thus challenges the notion that colonial political, military, and elite intellectual hegemony translated directly or easily into regional economic hegemony. In making this argument, the book points to inherent weaknesses in the usual view of the colonial state, notably the failure to recognize sufficiently the enduring power of local processes - or local currents of culture and practice - to withstand empire and ultimately shape the experience of colonialism.

Excerpt from The World's Cottons: A Summary of Cotton Fiber and Processing Test Results This report contains extensive information and data on quality comparisons of cotton produced and exported by many foreign countries with cotton grown in the United States. Exporters and others in the us. Cotton industry have expressed a need for such information, recognizing that quality is an essential element in the marketing and manufacturing process. U.s. Cotton encounters strong competition from sharply increased production and exports abroad. Over 50 other countries of the world export cotton. These cottons have a wide range of quality characteristics because of differences in such factors as varieties, environmental conditions, and methods of cultivation, harvesting, and ginning. Therefore, quality comparisons in this publication can serve as an effective marketing tool for us. Exporters. It also provides useful guides to cotton producers, breeders, and others interested in evaluation of different growths, types, or varieties of cotton having characteristics within certain defined limits. This is the fourth, and by far the most comprehensive, of a series of quality comparison studies published by the Foreign Agricultural Service. Since the last report published in 1969, there have been changes in the relative importance of cotton from traditional and newer exporting countries, and in their varieties of cotton. An endeavor was made to obtain cotton samples for this study within a statistical framework that recognized volume changes among countries, as well as the importance, within each country of growth, varieties, region of origin, grade, and other pertinent factors. Fiber and processing tests used, along with the traditional grade and staple length determinations, provide the most objective approach available today in evaluating cotton quality. These quality determinations, all made under the same Set of standard conditions, are indicative of the contribution of several properties to overall spinning utility and market value of the cottons.

The epic story of the rise and fall of the empire of cotton, its centrality to the world economy, and its making and remaking of global capitalism. Cotton is so ubiquitous as to be almost invisible, yet understanding its history is key to understanding the origins of modern capitalism. Sven Beckert’s rich, fascinating book tells the story of how, in a remarkably brief period, European entrepreneurs and powerful statesmen recast the world’s most significant manufacturing industry, combining imperial expansion and slave labor with new machines and wage workers to change the world. Here is the story of how, beginning well before the advent of machine production in the 1780s, these men captured ancient trades and skills in Asia, and combined them with the expropriation of lands in the Americas and the enslavement of African workers to crucially reshape the disparate realms of cotton that had existed for millennia, and how industrial capitalism gave birth to an empire, and how this force transformed the world. The empire of cotton was, from the beginning, a fulcrum of constant global struggle between slaves and planters, merchants and statesmen, workers and factory owners. Beckert makes clear how these forces ushered in the world of modern capitalism, including the vast wealth and disturbing inequalities that are with us today. The result is a book as unsettling as it is enlightening: a book that brilliantly weaves together the story of cotton with how the present global world came to exist.
