Description

Explore a detailed socio-cultural history of crafts and craft persons in pre-colonial Eastern India. This scholarly work by Routledge examines how technology shaped the traditional lives and social worlds of artisans. By focusing on the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the book provides a deep look into the specific regional practices of Bihar and Jharkhand. The text analyzes the technological complexities found in three primary sectors: cotton textiles, sericulture and silk textiles, and mining and metallurgy. It goes beyond simple technical descriptions to discuss the broader cultural and social contexts that defined these industries. This book is an essential resource for those studying the history of technology, regional economic structures, and the social history of Eastern India.
