This book compiles textile terms from the Philippine colonial period, drawing on both primary and secondary sources to trace histories and use. The abaca fabric called medriñaque, for example, appears to have been used for men's shirts in 16th-century Peru and was recorded in 17th-century English records as "medrinacles," a coarse canvas used for sails or for stiffening collars and doublets. Castro contextualizes the lexicon with a historical survey of the colonial trade and economy, which, in turn, shaped Philippine textile culture. With photographs of sample fabrics, the book serves as an introduction to those interested in textile history.

This book demonstrates how active and meaningful collaboration between researchers and local stakeholders and indigenous communities can lead to the co-production of knowledge and the empowerment of communities. Focusing on the Asia Pacific region, this interdisciplinary volume looks at local and indigenous relations to the landscape, showing how applied scholarship and collaborative research can work to empower indigenous and descendant communities. With cases ranging across Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, the Philippines, Cambodia, Pohnpei, Guam, and Easter Island, this book demonstrates the many ways in which co-production of knowledge is reconnecting local and indigenous relations to the landscape, and diversifying the philosophy of human-land relations. In so doing, the book is enriching the knowledge of landscape, and changing the landscape of knowledge. This important contribution to our understanding of knowledge production will be of interest to readers across Anthropology, Archaeology, Development, Geography, Heritage Studies, Indigenous Studies, and Policy Studies.
