This book explores the ways in which diverse Mexican, British, Chinese, and Japanese interests participated, particularly during Porfirio D�iacute;az's presidency at the peak of Mexico's participation in the steam network: from its 1860s outset through a time of many revolutionary changes ending with the World War, the Mexican Revolution, the opening of the Panama Canal, and the introduction of a new maritime technology based on vessels run by oil. These transoceanic exchanges, generated within these new geographies of power, contributed not only to the formation of a transpacific region but also to refashioning the Mexican national imaginary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith transnationalism, global and migration studies as its main framework, this study draws upon a dazzling array of primary sources to center Mexico's transpacific relations and the influence they wielded over the region at the height of the steamship period.","brand":"Hong Kong University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47888203088023,"sku":"9789888876761","price":7010.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789888876761.webp?v=1781164224","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/steamships-across-the-pacific-maritime-journeys-between-mexico-china-and-japan-1867-1914-9789888876761","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
