Download or read book The Crafts and Capitalism written by Tirthankar Roy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive history of handloom weaving industry in India to challenge and revise the view that competition from machine-produced textiles destroyed the country’s handicrafts as claimed by historians until recently. It shows that skill-intensive handmade textiles survived the competition on a large scale, and that handmade goods and high-quality manual labour played a positive role in the making of modern India. Rich in archival material, The Crafts and Capitalism explores themes such as the historiography of craft technologies; statistical work on nineteenth-century cotton cloth production trends; narratives of merchants, the social leaders, the factory-owners; tools and techniques; and, shift from handloom to power loom. The book argues that changes in the handloom industry were central to the consolidation of new forms of capitalism in India. An important intervention in Indian economic history, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of Indian history, economic history, colonial history, modern history, political history, labour history and political economy. It will also interest nongovernmental organizations, textile historians, and design specialists.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The handloom industry is a part of textile trade. Handloom weaving is the India's biggest cottage and labour intensive sector, which has been playing a very important role in the country's economy by forming part of India's rich heritage and exemplifying the rich artistry of the weavers. As an economic activity, the handloom sector occupies a place - second only to agriculture in terms of employment. From the time immemorial, Andhra Pradesh has been a prominent State for production of handloom cloth. The present study - based principally on socio-economic conditions of handloom weavers and various issues relating to organization of handloom industry in India in general and Andhra Pradesh in particular - is a modest attempt to present an integrated and comprehensive analysis of this most important household industry of the State. The study also analysed the consequences of different policies implemented by the successive Governments, as a measure of discerning their impact on the growth and development of handloom industry.
