Contents:
Introduction / Donald Quataert -- Labor recruitment and control in the Ottoman Empire (sixteenth and seventeenth centuries) / Suraiya Faroqhi -- Ottoman industry in the eighteenth century : general framework, characteristics, and main trends / Mehmet Genc -- Ottoman manufacturing in the nineteenth century / Donald Quataert -- Manufacturing in the Ottoman Empire and in republican Turkey, ca. 1900-1950 / Caglar Keyder -- Afterword / Donald Quataert.
Summary: This book provides the first comprehensive history of manufacturing in the Ottoman Empire and its Turkish successor state. As the Ottoman Empire evolved, manufacturing underwent an unusual trajectory. Expansion in the sixteenth century gave way to transformation and adaptation after the Industrial Revolution. Then, in the earlier part of the twentieth century, modern Turkey's attempt at state-led industrialization became a model for many developing countries. Suraiya Faroqhi, Mehmet Genc, Donald Quataert, and Caglar Keyder, experts on different phases of the manufacturing trajectory, provide here exceptional case studies of manufacturing activities in their social and political contexts, integrating first-hand research with surveys of the literature. This work offers rich material for historians, economists, and other social scientists, including those interested in the origins of underdevelopment and development in the contemporary world.
