{"product_id":"sea-change-amanda-phillips-9780520303591","title":"Sea Change: Ottoman Textiles Between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean","description":"Textiles were the second-most-traded commodity in all of world history, preceded only by grain. In the Ottoman Empire in particular, the sale and exchange of silks, cottons, and woolens generated an immense amount of revenue and touched every level of society, from rural women tending silkworms to pashas flaunting layers of watered camlet to merchants traveling to Mecca and beyond. \u003ci\u003eSea Change \u003c\/i\u003eoffers the first comprehensive history of the Ottoman textile sector, arguing that the trade's enduring success resulted from its openness to expertise and objects from far-flung locations. Amanda Phillips skillfully marries art history with social and economic history, integrating formal analysis of various textiles into wider discussions of how trade, technology, and migration impacted the production and consumption of textiles in the Mediterranean from around 1400 to 1800. Surveying a vast network of textile topographies that stretched from India to Italy and from Egypt to Iran, \u003ci\u003eSea Change\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates often neglected aspects of material culture, showcasing the objects' ability to tell new kinds of stories. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amanda Phillips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520303598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520303591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.24h x 7.32w x 1.02d","brand":"Amanda Phillips","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989154595071,"sku":"9780520303591","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_081e94a5-ea95-48a2-850a-c729b5a9c3bc.jpg?v=1683297882","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sea-change-amanda-phillips-9780520303591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
