About Pacific Spaces: Comparisons and Connections Across the Pacific Ocean in Early Modern and Modern Times
From the publisher's feed
The Pacific region has become increasingly prominent in contemporary global economics, politics, and cultural affairs. Historical studies of these phenomena trace the evolution of Pacific connections…
and migrations in the early modern and modern eras. This conference, held at the Huntington Library on Nov. 5 and 6, 2010, featured scholarship from both Asia and the Americas in order to better understand how Pacific crossings fit into the regional histories of maritime Asia and the Americas. The conference was convened by R. Bin Wong, of the University of California, Los Angeles; and David Igler, of University of California, Irvine.
