This book uncovers the rich, fascinating and complex world of
Ottoman manufacturing and manufacturers in the age of the European
industrial revolution. Using a wealth of sources from Ottoman,
European and American archives, Professor Donald Quataert explores
the technological methods of producing cotton cloth, wool cloth,
yarn and silk, how these changed throughout the nineteenth century,
the organisation of home and workshop production and trends in the
domestic and international markets. By focusing on textile
manufacturing in homes and small workshops, the author reveals a
dynamism that refutes traditional notions of a declining economy in
the face of European expansion. He shows how manufacturers adopted
a variety of strategies, such as reduced wages and low technology
inputs, to confront European competitors, protect their livelihoods
and retain domestic and international customers.
