More about the book

Focusing on the integration of New Spain into the Pacific Basin, this book challenges traditional views on identity formation among colonial elites in Mexico. It explores how debates over transpacific connections influenced perceptions of merit and entitlement among various social actors, including councillors, veterans, and merchants. By reassessing creole identities and worldviews, it offers insights into the early modern self and its evolution amid the complexities of a globalizing world, enhancing our understanding of historical narratives.
