Nomads, Migrants and Cotton in the Eastern Mediterranean - The Making of the Adana-Mersin Region, 1850-1908

Drawing on a variety of both narrative and archival sources, this study deals with the region of Adana and its new port-city Mersin as part of the transformation of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. The book analyzes the socio-economic side of the region's emergence through cotton production and trade with its nomadic and migrant populaces.
