Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Pearson collects 15 of his articles appearing between 1968 and 2001
in journals such as Modern Asian Studies and Portuguese Studies. Set
in the early modern period, they describe people living on the coasts
of the Indian Ocean; view Asians and Europeans on equal footing in
core cultural and economic areas; and are based mostly on Portuguese
sources. Topics discussed include cross-cultural contacts in the
spheres of broker-foreign merchant dealings, religion, and medicine.
The historian acknowledges cringing at an earlier attribution of the
decline of Spanish trade in the Philippines to "a decline in the
spirit of the Spanish." Original typefaces and pagination have been
maintained. Pearson's affiliation is not given.
