Rezensionen
"Global Goods presents us with a fascinating array of case studies that add valuable details and perspectives to our understanding of Spain's involvement in the first global age. ... Global Goods, in other words, does more than just rehash Spain's involvement in early globalization, it also helps to explain often forgotten aspects of how, why, and to what effect that involvement occurred." (Journal of Jesuit Studies, booksandjournals.brillonline.com, Vol. 3 (3), June, 2016)
"The chapters assembled in Global Goods and the Spanish Empire represent a significant contribution to a number of fields of inquiry. Scholars interested in the history of globalization, colonialism, consumption, material culture, and many other issues will find that this book rewards their attention. It is certainly appropriate for postgraduate students, but it shouldbe accessible to advanced undergraduates as well." (Stephen Webre, International Journal of Maritime History, Vol. 7 (4), November, 2015)
