Street markets are the vital nodes of Mexican “popular” economy (economía popular), but the people that work and live among them have a long history of marginalization in relation to formal economic networks in Mexico City. Despite the difficult conditions of these spaces, in the last three decades they have become a new source of economic opportunities and labor market access for Chinese migrants, particularly for women. Through their commerce, these migrants have introduced new commodities and new trade dynamics into these markets, which are thereby transformed into alternative spaces of globalization.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52423894663441,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52423895286033,"sku":"NLS9783030533465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030533465.jpg?v=1759150146"},{"product_id":"east-asia-latin-america-and-the-decolonization-of-transpacific-studies-book-chiara-olivieri-9783030745271","title":"East Asia, Latin America, and the Decolonization of Transpacific Studies","description":"In this collective work, researchers from different disciplines reflect upon the challenges and opportunities of decolonizing transpacific studies through the lens of a few paradigmatic case-studies that deal with connections between East Asia and Latin America.

Based in São Paulo, the group used terrorism, propaganda campaigns, and conspiracy theories to violently enforce its narrative of Japan’s victory.

Drawing on primary sources from national archives and tracing scattered references in Chinese historiography, it demonstrates that New Granada—today Colombia and Panama—sustained a consistent commercial relationship with China, particularly through the consumption of diverse textiles.  Revisiting this historical encounter offers a fresh perspective on the economic and cultural dynamics of the eighteenth century, a period traditionally framed as one of mainly European dominance. Evidence from smuggling records and testamentary files in Colombian and Spanish archives shows that New Grenadian society consumed significant quantities of Chinese goods, including silk, angaripolas, and damascos. These findings support two central claims: first, that New Granada actively participated in global markets during the eighteenth century; and second, that Chinese commodities enabled cultivated forms of global sociability within the region.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53605854118161,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53605854609681,"sku":"NGR9783032164605","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783032164605.jpg?v=1780007118"},{"product_id":"cultural-crosscurrents-from-latin-america-to-asia-book-salvador-marinaro-9783032278975","title":"Cultural Crosscurrents from Latin America to Asia","description":"This book explores the interactions between two regions marginalized by the Eurocentric worldview: East Asia and Latin America. Shaped by colonial legacies, economic relegation, and exoticized cultural representations, both regions have been conceptualized in contrasting ways —East Asia as the birthplace of ancient civilizations and the frontier of economic expansion, and Latin America as a locus of colonial adventure, natural wealth, and political disturbance. By examining how these regions confront and reinterpret these narratives, the book draws on history, literature, and migration flows to offer an archive of an interconnected world system. Assembling diverse intellectual traditions, case studies, and hybrid discourses emerging from various forms of transregional connectivity, this book aims to demonstrate how dialogue among distinct peripheral positions introduces new dynamics into cultural analysis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53605922832657,"sku":"NGR9783032278975","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783032278975.jpg?v=1780007349"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/historical-and-cultural-interconnections-between-latin-america-and-asia-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
