About the Book:
This book traces the global diffusion of woven, painted, printed, and dyed cotton textiles, focusing on the rich tradition of Tamil textiles during the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It examines how these textiles spread across the world, not only due to the expertise of Tamil weavers and dyers but also as a result of political and economic factors that shaped the regions they traveled to.
Through detailed analysis, the book sheds light on the intricate processes of textile production in Tamil Nadu and how these textiles became highly sought after across different parts of the globe. The diffusion of Tamil textiles is explored within the broader context of trade networks, colonial expansion, and the shifting demands of various markets, reflecting the interconnectedness of regions and cultures during this period.
