An Object Of Seduction: Chinese Silk In The Early Modern Transpacific Trade, 1500-1700 (Empires And Entanglements In The Early Modern World)

An Object of Seduction explores the early modern trans-Pacific export of Chinese silk to New Spain. It argues that the increasing demand for silk contributed to the parallel development of silk fashion and sericulture in China and New Spain, and also created conflicts on imperial regulations about foreign trade and hierarchical systems.
