- Title
Trading with the Enemy. Commerce between Spaniards and 'Moros' in the Early Modern Philippines.
- Authors

- Abstract
The relationship between the Spanish and the Muslim inhabitants of the Philippines and Borneo has always been difficult and depicted as one of enmity. This article, based on a series of published and unpublished sources, sheds light on a more peaceful facet of this relationship and demonstrates episodes of commerce between both sides from 1565 to 1800. Thereby, it challenges the traditional perspective of Manila as exclusively part of the China-New Spain trade axis and advocates viewing the Philippines as part of the polycentric, globally-connected commercial system of Southeast Asia.
