Förlagets beskrivning
World history conventionally ignores or underestimates the importance of
Manila, the Manila galleons, and the Philippines as key stages in the
development of trans-Pacific contact and of the world economy. Essays in this
volume discuss Philippine-Asian exchanges prior to the entry of Europeans, and
then look at European influences and the impact of Magellan's voyage, and the
emergence of Manila as one of global trade's crucial linchpins during four
centuries. Linkages between Latin America and China, and Spanish-Japanese competition
for the Chinese marketplace are important topics, and tensions and co-operation
among Chinese, Japanese, Iberians, Africans, Christians, Muslims and others on
Philippine soil are also covered. The book suggests the need for a thorough
re-evaluation of the Philippines' central role in terms of both Pacific history
and global history as perhaps the most important stage in the traffic that
linked China and Latin America. World history conventionally ignores or underestimates the importance of
Manila, the Manila galleons, and the Philippines as key stages in the
development of trans-Pacific contact and of the world economy. These essays
explore Manila's emergence as a trade linchpin.
