Manila, 1645 reconstructs what the city of Manila was like before
the earthquakes of the mid-seventeenth century. The book
demonstrates the importance of addressing the history of Southeast
Asia as a multi-layered framework, rather than a series of
entangled histories. In doing so, Manila is contextualized not
merely as a Spanish settlement connected to New Spain via America,
but instead within Southeast Asia, situated between the Chinese and
the Sulu Seas, and located in the centre of commercial routes used
by Armenian, Dutch, and Portuguese traders. This historical and
geographical context is crucial to understanding later cultural
dialogues. Urban planning, housing and architecture, and social
networks in the city are also examined. The book will appeal to
students and scholars interested in early modern history, global
history and architectural history.
