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. Tensions and cooperation among Chinese, Japanese,
Iberians, Africans, Christians, Muslims and others on Philippine
soil are also covered. This volume suggests the need for thorough
re-evaluation of the Philippines' central role in terms of both
Pacific history and global history as perhaps the single most
important stage in the traffic that linked China and Latin America.
