This book focuses on the significant role of West African consumers
in the development of the global economy. It explores their demand
for Indian cotton textiles and how their consumption shaped
patterns of global trade, influencing economies and businesses from
Western Europe to South Asia. In turn, the book examines how cotton
textile production in southern India responded to this demand.
Through this perspective of a south-south economic history, the
study foregrounds African agency and considers the lasting impact
on production and exports in South Asia. It also considers how
European commercial and imperial expansion provided a complex web
of networks, linking West African consumers and Indian weavers.
Crucially, it demonstrates the emergence of the modern global
economy.
