"The twenty-first-century transpacific is the new globalized terrain of cultural production, markets, and cultural forms radically restructured by the triumph and hypermobility of financial capital, the rapid growth of Asian capitalisms, and the emergence of a transpacific mass culture."
— Robert G. Lee
East Asia has caught our attention. As Americanists turn toward this, not new, but newly recognized transnational and transoceanic sphere, backs to a cherished Atlantic World, we—explorers in the archives—discover centuries of complex connections among East Asians and Americans that remain in the shadows of American historiography. The Asia-Pacific in the Making of the Americas project (APMA) brings together scholars from around the world in a range of disciplines who devote research to national as well as less-visible transnational transpacific interactions from the 16th through the 19th centuries. This journal strives to foster a global network of scholars, working together to generate new questions and insights, more accessible resources, and new research agendas for the exploration of economic, material, intellectual, and creative Asian-Pacific impacts on developments in the Americas, 1560-1900.
