Devouring the Pacific
In 1615, a Dutch fleet under the command of Joris van Spilbergen attacked the Mexican port of Acapulco. The port was the eastern terminus of the Manila galleons, the ships that linked Asia and the Americas during the early modern period. In the face of foreign incursion, Spanish officials in Mexico proposed to secure transpacific trade by constructing the Fort of San Diego to protect Acapulco. To build and later repair the fort, they mobilized th…
The First Asians in the Americas
G alleon A nxiety
Acapulco became a global town during the early seventeenth century, characterized not only by transpacific trade, but also by an increasingly large Afro-Mexican population residing and laboring at the port. A cohort of Afro-Mexican women gained prominence and visibility by delivering accurate predictions on the arrival of galleons to Acapulco. They adapted mixed African and Indigenous divination practices to calm port residents worried about gall…
Diasporic Convergences
During the seventeenth century, transatlantic and transpacific diasporas created one of the world's most globalized early modern societies in New Spain. As the slave trades to the colonial centers of central Mexico reached frenetic levels after the turn of the seventeenth century, processes of encounter, exchange, and transmission began to characterize these diverse communities. For "chinos" arriving in Acapulco, careful observation and experienc…

This article employs the case study of Medieval II: Total War’s 2006 simulation of the battle of Otumba to interpret player interactivity with grand narrative formations dating back to the sixteenth century. The steady revitalization of imperial apologism, colonial violence, and commemorations of heroic action suggest the com…
The Armed Chino
Many non-Spanish weapon-carriers circulated through New Spain during the seventeenth century who originated from Asia and arrived in the Americas via a regular shipping line known as the Manila Galleons. For these first Asians in the Americas, or chinos, as they were commonly labeled, petitions and licenses to bear arms are a fundamental genre for examining encounters with Spanish colonial administration, that is to say, the intersections of assi…
