Profile

I am an associate professor at Waseda University, where I am teaching global economic history in both English and Japanese. 

My research is to revise the narrative of the emergence of the modern global economy from the perspective of West African consumers. As one of the major achievements, I published Indian Cotton Textiles in West Africa: African Agency, Consumer Demand and the Making of the Global Economy, 1750-1850 (Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2019). The revised edition for Japanese readers followed in 2021.

     View Summary

    This article proposes to give a new answer to one of the central questions in African and global economic histories: how West Africa contributed to economies outside the region. Recent studies have highlighted that consumers played a significant role in the processes of trade and production. The article combines this consumer-led perspective with a new set of quantitative and qualitative data. Trade figures drawn from the British and French trade statistics reveal the peculiar demand for Indian indigo-blue cotton textiles, called guinees, in Senegal compared with other regions of West Africa in the early nineteenth century. This finding revises Joseph Inikori's argument about the triumph of British cottons in West Africa. Subsequently, this article places the consumption of guinees within the wider context of commercial networks in the trade in gum arabic in the lower Senegal River region and analyzes the social and ecological factors that underpinned the persistent demand for guinees among local consumers, taking into account the continuation of local textile production in West Africa. In so doing, this article argues that consumer behavior in Senegal mattered not only for the gum trade and but also conditioned a part of global trade networks that extended from South Asia through Western Europe and reached Africa in the early nineteenth century.

     View Summary

    This article addresses the role of Indian cotton textiles as one factor in the rapid growth of the British Atlantic slave trade in the century before the abolition of the slave trade. The Anglo-African trade statistics, compiled by Marion Johnson, opened our eyes to the importance of the re-export of East Indian textiles in the slave trade. Using the records of the London merchant Thomas Lumley, I have illuminated with great precision the commercial networks which stretched from India via Britain to Africa, to map the trade routes of Indian cottons, to examine the Asian dimension of the British Atlantic slave trade, and to show the regional differences in the consumption of Indian textiles in pre-colonial West Africa.

     View Summary

    This book focuses on the significant role of West African consumers in the development of the global economy. It explores their demand for Indian cotton textiles and how their consumption shaped patterns of global trade, influencing economies and businesses from Western Europe to South Asia. In turn, the book examines how cotton textile production in southern India responded to this demand. Through this perspective of a south-south economic history, the study foregrounds African agency and considers the lasting impact on production and exports in South Asia. It also considers how European commercial and imperial expansion provided a complex web of networks, linking West African consumers and Indian weavers. Crucially, it demonstrates the emergence of the modern global economy.

     View Summary

    主な研究成果として、パルグレイヴ・マクミラン社のケンブリッジ帝国ポストコロニアル研究叢書の一冊として英文単著を刊行した。本書では、西アフリカの消費者のインド綿布に対する需要に注目して、18世紀から19世紀半ばのグローバル化の主要な局面ー具体的には、18世紀の大西洋奴隷貿易とそれに伴う大西洋経済の興隆、イギリス産業革命、19世紀のグローバル経済の興隆ーにおける西アフリカの位置付けを再考した。その際に、south-south economic historyというパースペクティヴを導入して、ヨーロッパ人の主体性が強調されがちな「中心」-「周辺」の関係と異なる世界経済史像の提示を試みた。これに加えて、『社会経済史学』85/4(2020年)から学術論文(日本語)を発表した。
