In 1573, 712 bales of Chinese silk arrived in New Spain in the
cargos of two Manila galleons. The emergence and the subsequent rapid
development of this trans-Pacific silk trade reflected the final
formation of the global circulation network. The first book-length
English-language study focusing on the early modern export of Chinese
silk to New Spain from the sixteenth to the seventeenth century, An
Object of Seduction compares and contrasts the two regions from
perspectives of the sericulture development, the widespread circulation
of silk fashion, and the government attempts at regulating the use of
silk. Xiaolin Duan argues that the increasing demand for silk on the
worldwide market on the one hand contributed to the parallel development
of silk fashion and sericulture in China and New Spain, and on the
other hand created conflicts on imperial regulations about foreign trade
and hierarchical systems. Incorporating evidence from local gazetteers,
correspondence, manual books, illustrated treatises, and miscellanies,
An Object of Seduction explores how the growing desire for and
production of raw silk and silk textiles empowered individuals and
societies to claim and redefine their positions in changing time and
space, thus breaking away from the traditional state control.
