French Colonialism, Imported Technology, and the Handicraft Textile Industry in the Western Sudan, 1898–1918
研究了法国殖民统治头25年,欧洲技术对西苏丹棉花和手工纺织业的影响,发现法国推动棉花出口的政策并未完全达到预期,本土历史进程与殖民政策共同导致了行业变化。
European technology, both practical and managerial arts, had an impact on the well-established cotton and handicraft textile industries of the Western Sudan during the first twenty-five years of colonial rule. But French efforts to shape cotton production for export did not always have the intended results. Indigenous historical processes as well as French colonial policy account for the changes in these industries.
