Colonists sent reports back to Madrid boasting of the extraordinary number of souls converted to Christianity and the number of people paying tribute to the Spanish Crown. Such claims constructed an imagined imperial sovereignty and were not accompanied by effective consolidation of colonial control in many of the regions where conversion and tribute collection were imposed.\u003ci\u003e Incomplete Conquests\u003c\/i\u003e foregrounds the experiences of indigenous, Chinese, and Moro communities and their responses to colonial agents, weaving together stories that take into account the rich cultural and environmental diversity of this island world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Southeast Asia Program Publications","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52608091029784,"sku":"9781501770265","price":99.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/incomplete-conquests-the-limits-of-spanish-empire-in-the-seventeenth-century-philippines-hardback-9781501770265","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
