In this book, Ellen Hsieh uses archaeological, historical, and ethnographic resources to document the ways Manila was transformed by the arrival of Spanish colonists in 1571 and how the city in turn shaped the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManila was uniquely positioned as a crossroads in the networks of Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Iberia, resulting in a hybridized culture where colonial Spanish, Indigenous Tagalog, and overseas Chinese groups exchanged goods and ideas. In \u003cem\u003eThe Archaeology of Early Colonial Manila\u003c\/em\u003e, Hsieh analyzes material goods such as ceramics from Intramuros (the Spanish walled city) and Parian (the Chinese quarter) and illustrations from the Boxer Codex--a Spanish manuscript featuring images of people in the Philippines and surrounding areas--to illuminate the diversity of Manila society and to unravel the intricate power dynamics among these ethnic groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridging the gap in research between pre-Spanish and late colonial periods and amplifying the voices of non-elite, diasporic, and colonized communities often overlooked in historical documents, Hsieh provides an important focus on Manila's contributions to world history during a period of intense globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEllen Hsieh\u003c\/strong\u003e is associate professor of archaeology at the Institute of Anthropology and deputy director of the Research Center for Underwater Archaeology and Heritage at National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 14, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48676139434233,"sku":"9780813079219","price":145.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/qrdwyKpEex9780813079219.webp?v=1784309167","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-archaeology-of-early-colonial-manila-a-hybrid-city-in-global-history-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
