Textiles in the Pacific, 1500-1900 brings together 13 articles
which include both classics and lesser-known but important works
related to the trade and production of textiles in the Pacific
region, extending from the tip of Northeast Asia to the other end
of South America and Australia. Collectively these articles bring
out two central themes, as highlighted in the introduction. First,
there is the leading role of textiles in linking up the economies
across the Pacific in the era before the 19th-century rise of
steam-engine-powered global integration. Second is the crucial role
of textile manufacturing and trade in the early stage of
industrialization for most of the developing Pacific economies
after the 19th century. The volume also reflects both revolutionary
shifts in paradigms and revisions of traditional consensus, and
seeks to present a more balanced account of global trade and market
integration in the early modern period.
