Thomas Book Award, Southeastern Council of Latin American Studies (SECOLAS), 2019 Scholars have written reams on the conquest of Mexico, from the grand designs of kings, viceroys, conquistadors, and inquisitors to the myriad ways that indigenous peoples contested imperial authority. But the actual work of establishing the Spanish empire in Mexico fell to a host of local agents—magistrates, bureaucrats, parish priests, ranchers, miners, sugar producers, and many others—who knew little and cared less about the goals of th...

The First Asians in the Americas
The definitive account of transpacific Asian movement through the Spanish empire—from Manila to Acapulco and beyond—and its implications for the history of race and colonization in the Americas. Between 1565 and 1815, the so-called Manila galleons enjoyed a near-complete monopoly on transpacific trade between Spain’s Asian and American colonies. Sailing from the Philippines to Mexico and back, these Spanish trading ships also facilitated the earliest migrations and displacements of Asian peoples to the Americas.

The Oxford Handbook of Global Drug History
"This essay reveals how a global "New Drug History" has evolved over the past three decades, along with its latest thematic trends and possible next directions. Scholars have long studied drugs, but only in the 1990s did serious archival and global study of what are now illicit drugs emerge, largely from the influence of the anthropology of drugs on history. A series of key interdisciplinary influences are now in play beyond anthropology, among them, commodity and consumption studies, sociology, medical history, cultural studies, and transnational history. Scholars connect drugs and their changing political or cultural status to larger contexts and epochal events such as wars, empires, capitalism, modernization, or globalizing processes. As the field expands in scope, it may shift deeper into non-western perspectives, a fluid historical definition of drugs; environmental concerns; and research on cannabis and opiates sparked by their current transformations or crises"--

Sincronías Barrocas (siglos XVI-XVIII). Agentes textos y objetos entre Iberoamérica, Asia y Europa
Sincronías barrocas offre prospettive decentrate sugli incontri tra Asia, Iberoamerica ed Europa, dal XVI al XVIII secolo. Si pone l'accento sulla prospettiva transpacifica e sugli agenti che ne sono stati i protagonisti. Questo volume collettivo in spagnolo e inglese comprende analisi sugli eventi che hanno rafforzato le connessioni e le loro propaggini (oggetti di uso quotidiano, cibo, testi letterari e testi) essenziali per comprendere la formazione delle storie globali durante questo periodo.

Historia mínima de Filipinas
En un contexto global de sostenido interés por la Cuenca del Pacífico, en especial por las pujantes economías asiáticas, resulta imprescindible visitar el pasado y recordar que Filipinas, durante siglos, fue la puerta de Iberoamérica en Asia. Este libro, de manera sintética, recrea el proceso de construcción de la nación filipina desde los remotos orígenes prehispánicos hasta nuestros días. Revisa los desafíos que impuso a la vida social una geografía fragmentada en millares de islas, repasa formas de organización política y económica bajo los imperios español y estadounidense, se detiene en la consecución de la independencia a mediados del siglo pasado, para avanzar hasta el presente, subrayando las dificultades para consolidar un orden democrático.
Historia de la Revolución Mexicana. 1910-1914
En la década de los cincuenta del siglo pasado Daniel Cosío Villegas integró a un grupo de historiadores para elaborar la Historia moderna de México, finalmente publicada en diez gruesos volúmenes, resultado de diez años de investigación. Esta obra abarca desde la República Restaurada hasta el Porfiriato. El Colegio de México, fiel al compromiso de Cosío Villegas, decidió concluir los trabajos para ofrecer una historia integra de la primera mitad del siglo pasado. Así, lo que el lector tiene en sus manos, ahora en ocho volúmenes, es, finalmente, la conclusión del proyecto y el pago de aquella deuda con nuestra historia.
