Veracruz and the Caribbean in the Seventeenth Century
In the seventeenth century, Veracruz was the busiest port in the wealthiest colony in the Americas. People and goods from five continents converged in the city, inserting it firmly into the early modern world's largest global networks. Nevertheless, Veracruz never attained the fame or status of other Atlantic ports. Veracruz and the Caribbean in the Seventeenth Century is the first English-language, book-length study of early modern Veracruz. Weaving elements of environmental, social, and cultural history, it examines both Veracruz's internal dynamics and its external relationships. Chief among Veracruz's relationships were its close ties within the Caribbean. Emphasizing relationships of small-scale trade and migration between Veracruz and Caribbean cities like Havana, Santo Domingo, and Cartagena, Veracruz and the Caribbean shows how the city's residents – especially its large African and Afro-descended communities – were able to form communities and define identities separate from those available in the Mexican mainland.

Angels in Disguise
While still in his 20s, the author discovered the Chocolate Hills in Intramuros, the antique and hispanic walled-in city in Manila, Philippines, where heady events have been taking place for many years. He would find solace and tacit support from many others who also went there. ´The Walls´, as this place is collectively designated, has mutely witnessed the course of historical events since their erection that started over 4 centuries ago, which include the destruction of large sections of the walled-in city by American and Japanese forces at the close of World War II, and those numerous deaths of unnamed civilians. And the author would be drawn to and witnessed being with many men similar to him who would take action on customarily unacceptable desires in their hearts, the passionate ideas on intimacy in their minds, and what their bodies are capable of doing in the very open area in and around the Walls.
