DESCRIPTION:For this conference\, I would like to present on my upcoming bo
 ok\, Our Long and Fatiguing Voyage\, which details the Woodes Rogers priva
 teering expedition. The voyage presents a key facet of New Spain’s trade
  with the Philippines and thus neatly fits into the conference’s overall
  theme. Although the voyage is more famous for circumnavigating the globe 
 and picking up a castaway\, their capture of a Spanish Manila ship illustr
 ates how vital the Spanish Philippines were to Spanish commerce.\n	A key c
 hapter of the book focuses on the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade\, which in
 tegrated the Philippines and Marianas into New Spain’s economy. The priv
 ateers kept a detailed ledger of the galleon’s cargo as it would be sold
  at auction in Britain once processed. Many of the privateers’ backers w
 ere cloth merchants\, who sent agents to catalog and categorize every item
 . Since these agents were often tied to the cloth trade\, they could disti
 nguish between different sorts of cloth and create a highly detailed manif
 est.\n	Throughout the chapter\, I emphasize the characteristics of the gal
 leon officers and crews\, as well as the sheer variety of “Oriental good
 s” that made their way from Manila to Acapulco\, thence to Vera Cruz\, a
 nd finally to Havana and Spain. Furthermore\, I detail how the Filipino an
 d Chinese sailors\, or lascars\, were treated by their Spanish officers as
  well as by the British privateers who regarded them as second-rate labor 
 and as skilled captives\, respectively
