It investigates this network in its 1860s outset through a time of many revolutionary changes, including the World War, the Mexican Revolution, the opening of the Panama Canal, and the introduction of a new maritime technology--vessels run by oil. These transoceanic exchanges, generated within these new geographies of power, contributed not only to the formation of a Trans-Pacific region but also to the refashioning of the Mexican national imaginary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With transnationalism, global, and migration studies as its main frameworks, this study draws upon a dazzling array of primary sources to center Mexico's Trans-Pacific relations and the influence they wielded over the region at the height of the steamship period. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Mandujano L?pez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9888876767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789888876761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hong Kong University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ruth Mandujano L?pez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46431562891519,"sku":"9789888876761","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe79d4e7-2fb6-4e10-975e-89cda82c17c0.jpg?v=1735141710","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/steamships-across-the-pacific-ruth-mandujano-lpez-9789888876761","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
