BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 Hours)
BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 hours) Eat your way around Binondo, the Philippines’ Chinatown. Located across the Pasig River from the walled city of Intramuros, Binondo was formally established in 1594, and is believed to be the oldest Chinatown in the world. It is the center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino-Chinese merchants, and given the historic reach of Chinese trading in the Pacific, it has been a hub of Chinese commerce in the Philippines since before the first Spanish colonizers arrived in the Philippines in 1521. Before World War II, Binondo was the center of the banking and financial community in the Philippines, housing insurance companies, commercial banks and other financial institutions from Britain and the United States. These banks were located mostly along Escólta, which used to be called the "Wall Street of the Philippines". Binondo remains a center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino- Chinese merchants and is famous for its diverse offerings of Chinese cuisine. Enjoy walking around the streets of Binondo, taking in Tsinoy (Chinese-Filipino) history through various Chinese specialties from its small and cozy restaurants.

Representations of Spain in Early Modern English Drama
Saugata Bhaduri Polycolonial Angst: Representations of Spain in Early Modern English Drama One of the important questions that this conference1 requires us to explore is how Spain was represented in early modern English theatre, and to examine such representation especially against the backdrop of the emergence of these two nations as arguably the most important players in the unfolding game of global imperialism. This is precisely what this article proposes to do: to take up representative English plays of the period belonging to the Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604) which do mention Spain, analyse what the nature of their treat- ment of Spain is and hypothesise as to what may have been the reasons behind such a treatment.2 Given that England and Spain were at bitter war during these twenty years, and given furthermore that these two nations were the most prominent rivals in the global carving of the colonial pie that had already begun during this period, the commonsensical expectation from such plays, about the way Spain would be represented in them, should be of unambiguous Hispanophobia. There were several contextual reasons to occasion widespread Hispanophobia in the period. While Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon (1509) and its subsequent annulment (1533) had already sufficiently complicated Anglo-Hispanic relations, and their daughter Queen Mary I’s marriage to Philip II of Spain (1554) and his subsequent becoming the King of England and Ireland further aggravated the 1 The conference referred to here is the International Conference on Theatre Cultures within Globalizing Empires: Looking at Early Modern England and Spain, organised by the ERC Project “Early Modern European Drama and the Cultural Net (DramaNet),” at the Freie Universität, Ber- lin, November 15–16, 2012, where the preliminary version of this article was presented.

Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83747-7 - Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More information Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 England’s response to the Revolt of the Netherlands (1568–1648) has been studied hitherto mainly in terms of government policy, yet the Dutch struggle with Habsburg Spain affected a much wider commu- nity than just the English political elite. It attracted attention across Britain and drew not just statesmen and diplomats but also soldiers, merchants, religious refugees, journalists, travellers and students into the confl ict. Hugh Dunthorne draws on pamphlet literature to reveal how British contemporaries viewed the progress of their near neigh- bours’ rebellion, and assesses the lasting impact which the Revolt and the rise of the Dutch Republic had on Britain’s domestic history. The book explores affi nities between the Dutch Revolt and the British civil wars of the seventeenth century – the fi rst major challenges to royal authority in modern times – showing how much Britain’s chang- ing commercial, religious and political culture owed to the country’s involvement with events across the North Sea. HUGH DUNTHORNE specializes in the history of the early modern period, the Dutch revolt and the Dutch republic and empire, the his- tory of war, and the Enlightenment. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University, and his previous publications include The Enlightenment (1991) and The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the Low Countries

Looking Beyond the Walls
Looking Beyond the Walls It was a sunny morning when Jose Estrella decided to take a walk by the Maestranza plaza in Intramuros, Manila City. Estrella was the administrator of the Intramuros Administration (IA), an organization attached to the Department of Tourism (DOT) of the Philippines. He was walking by the plaza because he wanted to check on the current state of Maestranza in preparation for several meetings he had lined up for the week. A concert had recently been held at the Maestranza plaza, and an exhibit had been held a few weeks ago. A civic organization was currently eying Maestranza as the venue for its annual meeting six months from now. A few years back, however, this portion of Intramuros where the Pasig River can be seen had an unwelcoming sewage-like smell that dominated a person’s senses. It consequently was not a pleasurable place for a walk. There were informal settlers who had made their homes and lives right in the middle of the street, blocking important historical markers and obstructing the view of Pasig River as well as portions of the historic walls of Manila. A few meters from Maestranza were ruins of what used to be the Central Bank of the Philippines. No matter how historic and rich in potential this area was, it was not a prime tourism destination. As the administrator of Intramuros, Estrella was proud that in the two years’ time since he had assumed his position, the plaza had a facelift, allowing it to become a viable venue for different events and an open space good for a morning or afternoon stroll.

The Sustainable Debts of Philip II: a Reconstruction of Spain's Fiscal
The Sustainable Debts of Philip II: A Reconstruction of Spain’s Fiscal Position, 1560-1598* Mauricio Drelichman Hans-Joachim Voth The University of British Columbia ICREA/Universitat Pompeu Fabra and and CIFAR CEPR This Draft: January 2010 Abstract: The defaults of Philip II have attained mythical status as the origin of sovereign debt crises. We reassess the fiscal position of Habsburg Castile, deriving comprehensive estimates of revenue, debt, and expenditure from new archival data. The king’s debts were sustainable. Primary surpluses were large and rising. Debt/revenue ratios were broadly unchanged across Philip’s reign. Castilian finances in the sixteenth century compare favorably with those of other early modern fiscal states at the height of their imperial ambitions, including Britain. The defaults of Philip II therefore reflected short-term liquidity crises, and were not a sign of unsustainable debts. * For helpful comments, we thank Daron Acemoglu, George Akerlof, Carlos Alvarez Nogal, Fernando Broner, Albert Carreras, Marc Flandreau, Caroline Fohlin, Regina Grafe, Avner Greif, Viktoria Hnatkovska, Angela Redish, Alberto Martín, Paolo Mauro, David Mitch, Kris Mitchener, Joel Mokyr, Lyndon Moore, Roger Myerson, Kevin O’Rourke, Sevket Pamuk, Richard Portes, Leandro Prados de la Escosura, Nathan Sussman, Alan M.

Taylor Professor Ignacio Navarrete Fall 2013 Abstract The Shaping of Empire: History Writing and Imperial Identity in Early Modern Spain by Michael Andrew Gonzales Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Previous studies on politics and history writing in early modern Europe have focused on how early modern monarchs commissioned official royal histories that served to glorify the crown and its achievements. These works discuss the careers of royal historians and their importance at court, and examine how the early modern crown controlled history writing. In the case of Spain, scholars have argued that Spanish monarchs, particularly Philip II, strictly controlled the production of history writing by censoring texts, destroying and seizing manuscripts, and at times restricting history writing to authorized historians. Modern scholars have largely avoided analyzing the historical studies themselves, and have ignored histories written by non-royal historians. My dissertation broadens the discussion by examining a variety of histories written by royal historians and authors from outside of the court, including clerics, bureaucrats, and military officers, motivated to write histories by their concern over Spain’s recent imperial policies and campaigns.

The Scattered Fleet Prologue Don Juan De Austria , Half
The scattered fleet Prologue Don Juan de Austria , half- brother of King Philip II of Spain, glanced up towards the light blue banner with the image of crucified Christ given him by the Pope and prayed for the victory. Then, surrounded by shouts and cries of enthusiasm, he made as if he was dancing. He was twenty-four years old and he was in command of the most powerful war fleet ever put to sea by the Christendom against the Turkish. On board of the Marquesa , a ship of the League, a young Spanish fevered soldier reached his combat station watching the lifeboats: his name was Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. On board of the Real (Royal) , an arquebusier without beard and moustache and with delicate features was trying to hide his face and his tension: Maria la Bailadora (Mary The Dancer ) had dressed herself as a man to be close to her own lover. Muezzinzade Ali Pasha, commander of the Ottoman fleet, made erect on the mainmast of his flagship Sultana the white banner on which women's hands had embroidered Allah’s ninety-nine names and attributes repeated thousands of times and he took leave of his teenage children. Then he made shoot a cannon shot with blanks. From the Real , the flagship of the League, Don Juan ordered to return with real bullets. The battle of Lepanto had begun. It was October 7, 1571, Sunday. The disputed sea The way towards Lepanto had been long, tortuous, bloody and marked, from both sides, by cruelties and by excesses, by indecisions and mistakes, by victories and defeats, by successes and failures .

699 the Defeat of the Spanish Armada – the Dutch Gain Their Independence from Spain, Part 1
#699 The Defeat of the Spanish Armada – The Dutch gain their independence from Spain, part 1 What is known today as the Netherlands, the land of the Dutch, was once under Roman Catholic Spain’s dominion. But remember how the Pilgrims of Scrooby, England, and others made their way to the Netherlands in the early 1600’s because it was a Protestant sanctuary [reference Unsealing #592]? The story of the Dutch gaining their independence from Spain helps us to see how it became Protestant. Charles V of Spain and the Low Countries. Most of the Low Portrait of Charles V on horseback Countries – today’s Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg – were once ruled by the dukes of Burgundy. Charles V, grandson of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, inherited the lands of the dukes of Burgundy and then became King of Spain in 1516. The Low Countries came under Spanish control. Charles V then became emperor of the entire Holy Roman Empire in 1519. [Charles V ruled over more lands than any sovereign in European history.] What is important about this is that Charles V was representing Roman Catholicism in Europe exactly around the time of the birth (October 31, 1517) and expansion of the Protestant Reformation. Habsburg dominions German Empire Spanish Road Philip II of Spain and the Low Countries. Charles V’s son Philip II, a devout Catholic, took over Spain and the Spanish Netherlands from his father in 1556. By this time there were many Protestants in the Netherlands. Like Louis XIV in France, Philip II believed it was his duty as a king “appointed by God” to fight for the Catholic Church.
