| Resumo: | The sixteenth century witnessed the materialization of the Spanish crown’s more effective grip on the silk and spice trade. The Manila-Acapulco Galleon trade was established when the return route from Cebu in the Philippines to Puerto de Navidad was completed in 1565. The galleon trade, which plied the Pacific Ocean, provided imperial Spain with an oceanic bridge that was more effective than the old terrestrial silk route used to secure goods from Asia and to plant the seeds of Catholicism in the Far East. During the two and-a-half centuries of the transpacific adventure, the cargo ships that connected Latin America to Asia from 1565 to 1815 achieved more than just trade and the evangelization of the pagan Orientals. Of the variety of products from all over Asia that the galleons transported to México, and of those that show fine Filipino craftsmanship, the artistic and ludic manifestation in the form of a kite was brought into Mexico’s Pacific coastal people with a singular passion. This paper explores the legacy of Malay-Filipinos who came to Mexico |
