Kurdistan's Mobile Capitalism: Putting-Out System in Sheep and Cattle Farming
Zozan Pehlivan (Minnesota)
Abstract
Historically, Ottoman Kurdistan, located at the intersection of major trade routes linking the Black Sea with the Persian Gulf, and Iran and Iraq with Syria and Anatolia, served as a crossroads of population, raw materials, and commodity flows. Based on Ottoman and British archival sources, this paper aims to examine what made Ottoman Kurdistan a cohesive economic region in the nineteenth century. By focusing on the historical compatibility and collaboration between peasants, pastoralists, and urban dwellers and using available statistical and qualitative information, this paper demonstrates the importance of animal husbandry in the region’s economy and changing dynamics during the nineteenth century.
