Contraband and Exchanges in the Río de la Plata basin -- The long way to Paraguay. Routes, Asian Goods and Consumption in the Jesuit Missions -- Conclusions Summary This book analyzes the exchange relations between the colonies of the Iberian Empires, starting from two cities ports, Buenos Aires and Macau in the period 1580-1700. Agents, who were not professional traders such as the members of the Society of Jesus, and the circulation and consumption of Asian goods in the local populations of Buenos Aires and Macau, were analyzed. Both cases of study will show us how these non-state agents- the Jesuits- build their own networks and exchange channels to Chinese goods distribution (i.e silk, porcelain, musk, amber and others) between Asia and Latin American. This book intends to break with the local scheme of Jesuit studies in order to combine the local scale with analysis of inter-regional processes on a continental scale, from a comparative perspective Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 6, 2023) Subject Jesuits -- China -- Macau (Special Administrative Region) -- History -- 16th century Jesuits -- Argentina -- Buenos Aires -- History -- 16th century Jesuits -- China -- Macau (Special Administrative Region) -- History -- 17th century Jesuits -- Argentina -- Buenos Aires -- History -- 17th century SUBJECT Jesuits. fast (OCoLC)fst00532143 Subject Commerce.
