This illustrated scholarly book provides a concise overview of the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade, which served as an impetus to early-modern globalization. The World of the Manila-Acapulco Galleons highlights Southeast Asian, Latin American, or Pacific responses to Spanish incursion- -whether collaboration, transculturation, or resistance. Enriched with the most comprehensive registry of 798 galleon voyages and more than two hundred images, the book makes for a thought-provoking, relevant, and up-to-date contribution to the study of this fascinating era in world history, culture, and trade.
