Book Description
A highly original and much-needed collection that explores the impact of Asian and Indian Ocean trade on the art and aesthetic sensibilities of New England port towns in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This diverse, interdisciplinary volume adds to our understanding of visual representations of economic and cultural changes in New England as the region emerged as a global trading center, entering the highly prized East Indies trades. Examining a wide variety of commodities and forms including ceramics, textiles, engravings, paintings, architecture, and gardens, the contributors highlight New Englanders' imperial ambitions in a wider world. This book will appeal to a broad audience of historians and students of American visual art, as well as scholars and students of fine and decorative arts.

Book Description
Frontier Constitutions is a pathbreaking study of the cultural transformations arrived at by Spanish colonists, native-born creoles, mestizos (Chinese and Spanish), and indigenous colonial subjects in the Philippines during the crisis of colonial hegemony in the nineteenth century, and the social anomie that resulted from this crisis in law and politics. John D. Blanco argues that modernity in the colonial Philippines should not be understood as an imperfect version of a European model but as a unique set of expressions emerging out of contradictions—expressions that sanctioned new political communities formed around the precariousness of Spanish rule. Blanco shows how artists and writers struggled to synthesize these contradictions as they attempted to secure the colonial order or, conversely, to achieve Philippine independence.

Book Description
Tale of Two Pateros chronicles the collective endeavors and triumphs in achieving sisterhood unity of the peoples of Pateros City in Washington State and Pateros in the Philippines, sparked by the circumstantial encounter and curious exploration of a group of Filipino-American travelers motoring back from a Canada visit. Originally envisioned as the last chapter of Pateros in My Spirit collegial memoir book, the author spun it into a separate pictorial publication after townmates (who love being called ka-Paterosinos) enormously contributed a rich photographic collection of interrelated events and even entailing the funding to produce this touching love offering to their cherished homeplace back in the Philippines and the other Pateros enjoyed fondly as a paradise by the Cascade Mountains in the Okanogan Valley. The two Pateros, though oceans apart and linked only in 1900 in name by a homecoming Washington military officer veteran of the Spanish-American War, rediscovered each other’s history, heritage, and culture by majesty of diplomacy and blossomed friendship, formalized during the signing of sisterhood agreement amid the momentous celebration of the one hundredth year anniversary of the founding of Pateros City in 2013. Tale of Two Pateros is a clarion saga of that attainment of accord and unification preserved in engaging narratives and a feast of images offered to the future generations of the two Pateros and enticed readers.
