Hardcover. Condition: New. From European dwelling settlements to global cities looks at the pattern of urbanisation, planning and development of spatial cultureregular and periodical the Tamil Coast in the early modern world and the historical processes that shaped them. It examines the establishment and growth of the towns Porto Novo, Tuticorin, Nagapattinam, mylapore, pulicat, tranquebar, cuddalore, and Madras that developed in the age of European commerce and empire, from the clustered villages around the umland, the vast and deep hinterland and the wide expanse of maritime foreland. The study makes a comparative understanding of these cosmopolitan ports and how they superseded interior capital cities like Madurai, thanjavur, and tiruchirapalli, the flourishing seats of power.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a thorough examination of trade regulations between the United States and British colonial ports, delves into the complexities of commercial arrangements established in the early 19th century. The author meticulously analyzes the effects of these regulations on trade between the two nations, particularly in the context of the British Parliament's 1833 act regulating trade in British possessions abroad, highlighting the resulting imbalances and disparities. The book also explores the extent to which these arrangements adhered to the commercial agreement between the United States and Great Britain in 1830, revealing discrepancies between the intended spirit of the agreement and its actual implementation. Through detailed research and analysis, this book offers valuable insights into the historical dynamics of international trade regulations, making it a compelling read for scholars and anyone interested in the history of economic relations between nations.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Combines analysis of transnational prostitution and traffic in women with a social history of the League of Nations and interwar globalization.Global Women, Colonial Ports is a transnational history of state-regulated prostitution in the Middle East and North Africa between the two world wars. Beginning with international efforts to eradicate traffic in women and children, Liat Kozma examines French and British policies regarding local and foreign prostitutes in the region and shows how these policies affected and interacted with global migration routes of prostitutes and procurers. In so doing, she reveals how colonial domination mediated global mobility of people, practices, and ideas. Kozma weaves together the perspectives of colonial and local feminists with those of medical doctors, demonstrating that debates on prostitution were globalized and that transnational networks of knowledge and activism existed. She also explores the League of Nations' involvement in this social issue. As a history of the Middle East, the book joins recent scholarship on modern globalization and the integration of the region in global economic, activist, social, and religious interconnectedness.…
