Being the Heart of the World
An Irish Rebel in New Spain
In the seventeenth century, Irish nobles, soldiers, and scholars fled English colonization and made new lives in the Spanish empire. Among the most colorful of these “wild geese,” as they are evocatively called in Irish history, was William Lamport: a scholar-soldier from Wexford who was arrested in 1642 by the Mexican Inquisition for plotting to overthrow Spanish rule, abolish slavery, and have himself crowned king of an independent Mexico. Lamp…

The Atlantic World and the Manila galleons
The Atlantic World and the Manila galleons: circulation, market, and consumption of Asian goods in the Spanish Empire, 1565–1650." Colonial Latin American Review, 29(1), pp. 167–168
The Mexican Mission
In the sixty years following the Spanish conquest, indigenous communities in central Mexico suffered the equivalent of three Black Deaths, a demographic catastrophe that prompted them to rebuild under the aegis of Spanish missions. Where previous histories have framed this process as an epochal spiritual conversion, The Mexican Mission widens the lens to examine its political and economic history, revealing a worldly enterprise that both remade a…
Mexican Mission
Bautizando el colonialismo
Este artículo examina la historia política de la conversión indígena al cristianismo después de la conquista. Utilizando fuentes de archivo, anales indígenas y comunicaciones mendicantes ofrezco una revisión a la interpretación espiritual de la historiografía de las primeras décadas de las misiones en México. Sostengo que el fenómeno de las conversiones a escala masiva se debe a una compleja combinación de oportunismo político, violencia iconocla…
Building in the Shadow of Death
Around the year 1550, an indigenous tlacuilo (painter-scribe-historian) in Tepechpan, a small altepetl north of Mexico City, narrated the tumultuous events through which he had lived. In Figure 1, we see an excerpt of this tlacuilo's contribution to the town's annals, the Tira de Tepechpan , which depicts a sequence of events from 1545 to 1549. On the left, beneath the glyph for the year 1545, the tlacuilo paints a dangling corpse, its arms cross…
Connecting the Indies
This article reconsiders the place of colonial Latin America in global history by examining the Transpacific interactions, conflicts, and exchanges between Latin America and Asia in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Setting aside earlier imperial histories that present the Pacific as a 'Spanish Lake', I conceptualize a dynamic Hispano-Asian Pacific World that was forged by a myriad of actors in and around the Pacific basin. Instead of a Pa…

Transpacific Mestizo
In 1643, a Moluccan mestizo soldier named Alexo de Castro was arrested by the Holy Office of the Inquisition in the multicultural Manila barrio of Binondo. Suspected of secretly observing the Muslim faith in Manila, Castro faced inquisitorial investigations that culminated in his trial and punishment in Mexico. Based on evidence from Philippine, Mexican, and Spanish archives, this article examines Castro’s inquisition trial in the broader context…
Pacific Purgatory
In late-sixteenth-century Manila, Spanish Dominican missionaries sought to convert Chinese merchants from Fujian Province known as Sangleys. The Dominican-Sangley encounter unfolded in a segregated Chinese quarter known as the Parián. This local encounter had outsize implications for an emerging early modern Pacific World: it enabled a lucrative transpacific trade that connected the histories of America and Asia, and it provided a foothold in Man…
Brave New Spain
To rule, O Fortune, we go; Do not wake me up, if I am asleep, And if it be true, do not let me slumber. Prince Segismundo, in Calderón de la Barca’s Life is a Dream (1635) On the evening of 26 October 1642, constables working for the Mexican Inquisition made an extraordinary arrest in a humble district of Mexico City near the Convento de la Merced. Working on a tip-off from a neighbour, they detained a thirty-one-year-old Irish man known by the h…
