Crossing Empires
This is the rare volume of essays produced by a conference that is successful in providing a coherent assessment of the state of research in an area of historical inquiry, which also includes individual essays that are worth reading for their own sake.

This article takes another look at the importance of silver in Pacific commercial networks linking Asia with the Americas, arguing that the interests of Mexican officials and merchants played a crucial role in sustaining the Philippines as Spain's only colo…
