In doing so, Manila is contextualized not merely as a Spanish settlement connected to New Spain via America, but instead within Southeast Asia, situated between the Chinese and the Sulú Seas, and located in the centre of commercial routes used by Armenian, Dutch, and Portuguese traders. This historical and geographical context is crucial to understanding later cultural dialogues. Urban planning, housing and architecture, and social networks in the city are also examined. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will appeal to students and scholars interested in early modern history, global history and architectural history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pedro Luengo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367433362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367433369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Pedro Luengo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058157809919,"sku":"9780367433369","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_089afd60-68b5-4b7f-ae3c-5800e7dd5c32.jpg?v=1685050976","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/manila-1645-pedro-luengo-9780367433369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
