- Summary:
- "In the Shadow of War and Empire offers a site-specific history of Ottoman and Turkish industrialisation through the lens of a mid-nineteenth-century cotton factory in the "Turkish Manchester," the name chosen by the Ottomans for the industrial complex they built in the 1840s, which, in the contemporary words of one of the country's most prominent contemporary Marxist theorists, became "the secret to and the basis of Turkish capitalism" in the 1930s"-- Provided by publisher.
