Kristie Patricia Flannery is a senior research fellow at the Australian Catholic University.
Piracy and the Making of the Spanish Pacific World offers a new interpretation of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippine islands. Drawing on the rich archives of Spain’s Asian empire, Kristie Patricia Flannery reveals that Spanish colonial officials and Catholic missionaries forged alliances with Indigenous Filipinos and Chinese migrant settlers in the Southeast Asian archipelago to wage war against waves of pirates, including massive Chinese pirate fleets, Muslim pirates from the Sulu Zone, and even the British fleet that attacked at the height of the Seven Years’ War.

Renata Keller is an associate professor of history at the University of Nevada, Reno. She is the author of The Fate of the Americas: The Cuban Missile Crisis and the Hemispheric Cold War (UNC, 2015) and Mexico’s Cold War: Cuba, the United States, and the Legacy of the Mexican Revolution (Cambridge, 2015).
The Fate of the Americas is the first hemispheric history of the Cuban Missile Crisis, revealing how everyday people and governments across the Americas caused, participated in, and were affected by the crisis. It demonstrates that even at the brink of destruction, Latin Americans played active roles in global politics and inter-American relations.
