Part of the ASIANetwork Books series . Revealing dynamic dialogues between early modern China and Latin America through a new methodology Knowing an Empire: Early Modern Chinese and Spanish Worlds in Dialogue unveils how these two vast empires, separated by thousands of miles, developed comparable systems to gather, order, and wield knowledge about their local worlds.

A Patchwork Columbian Exchange
This article reconsiders Alfred Crosby’s Columbian exchange by turning from sweeping generalizations to the granular realities of New Spain. Drawing on the sixteenth-century relaciones geográficas, it argues that colonial environments were patchworks: mosaics of local ecologies, animal assemblages, and human choices. Cross-referencing the animals mentioned by local survey respondents with their environments illustrates how practitioners observed …

Unmaking Waste
In Unmaking Waste, Sarah Newman draws on her expertise in Mesoamerican archaeology to boldly and ambitiously challenge readers to access pasts and conceive of futures in which they see not “waste” but reuse and renewal.

The Giant Remains
Giant bones unearthed throughout the Mesoamerican countryside provoked early modern thinkers to grapple with the earth's ages, partially syncretizing Nahua histories of human conquest with Spanish colonial medicinal and natural historical knowledge. European naturalists' willingness to accept the giant remains required them to embrace localized Mesoamerican cosmologies. The fossilized landscape provided evidence that conquest and eradication had …
