These journeys were led by Álvaro de Mendaña, Pedro Fernández de Quirós and Isabel Barreto, the first woman ever to become admiral of and command a fleet. Mercedes Maroto Camino presents a cultural analysis of these journeys and takes issue with some established notions about the value of the past and the way it is always rewritten from the perspective of the present. She highlights the social, political and cultural environment in which maps and narratives circulate, suggesting that their significance is always subject to negotiation and transformation. The tapestry created by the interpretation of maps, narratives and rituals affords a view not only of the minds of the first men and women who traversed the Pacific but also of how they saw the ocean, its islands and their peoples. Producing the Pacific should, therefore, be of relevance to those interested in history, voyages, colonialism, cartography, anthropology and cultural studies. The study of these cultural products contributes to an interpretive history of colonialism at the same time that it challenges the beliefs and assumptions that underscore our understanding of that history. 410 0$aPortada hispanica ;$v18. 606 $aGeographical perception 606 $aTravelers' writings, Spanish$zPacific Area$xHistory and criticism 607 $aPacific Ocean$xDiscovery and exploration$xSpanish$xPsychological aspects 607 $aPacific Ocean$vMaps, Mental 615 0$aGeographical perception. 615 0$aTravelers' writings, Spanish$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a910.01 700 $aCamino$b Mercedes Maroto$0175921 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816274203321 996 $aProducing the Pacific$94083356 997 $aUNINA
