Justice and Violence in Manila
Manila was an early modern triumph of Chinese-Spanish trade, and also the theater of catastrophic anti-Chinese violence, most notably in 1603, 1639, and 1662. This project asks: what was the role of Habsburg justice in Manila, how did its Chinese navigate this system to shape the city in their interests, and lastly, why did successful communication and commerce nonetheless fail to resolve the issues which led to massive violence?
