本文主要研究1826 - 1925年法属印度生产并出口到法属西非的基尼织物的全球贸易。文章首先重新审视了几内亚布及其在萨赫勒西部的作用。其次，它认为，在法属印度建立的法国工厂生产的几内亚成本高，但质量差。因此，在世纪后期，一种类似的欧洲制造的布料开始在塞内加尔市场上取代几内亚。因此，法国帝国的几内亚生产者支持保护措施，尽管商人和有关政府并不总是同意这一观点。此外，法兰西第三共和国早期不稳定的政治气候促使了贸易政策的频繁变化。因此，除了从塞内加尔的圣刘易斯开始的传统路线外，该文章表明，印第安人的出口始于北方非洲更受保护的路线，然后在西非更广泛的区域内分布。甚至连梅兰关税也为法属印度的几内亚生产商打开了新市场。本文通过基尼棉布贸易，论证了殖民主义和帝国主义如何导致全球化。
This study focuses on the global trade ofguinéecloth mainly produced in French India and exported to French West Africa from 1826 to 1925. The article first re-examines theguinéecloth and its role in the western Sahel. Second, it argues that theguinéeproduced in the French factories established in French India was costly but of poor quality. Consequently, a similar type of cloth made in Europe began replacing theguinéein the Senegalese market in the late nineteenth century. Therefore, the producers of theguinéein the French empire supported protective measures, although merchants and relevant governments did not always share this opinion. Furthermore, the unstable political climate of the early French Third Republic promoted frequent changes in the trade policy onguinéecloth. Consequently, in addition to the traditional route from Saint Louis, Senegal, the article demonstrates that the export of Indianguinéebegan through more protected routes in northern Africa and was then distributed within the wider region of West Africa. Even the Méline Tariff opened theguinéeproducers in French India to new markets. Through theguinéecloth trade, this study demonstrates how colonialism and imperialism could lead to globalization.
