Ang See, Teresita The study of the Chinese burial grounds in Manila provides a window to the world of the Chinese community and the Spanish colonial regime. In the first two and a half centuries of Spanish rule, the Chinese were buried in church or temple grounds, demonstrating the prerogative of religious authorities over the lives of these colonial subjects. In the nineteenth century, the rise of the Chinese population and new approaches to public sanitation paved the way for the establishment of an extramural Chinese public cemetery. The regulations, and the issues that came with administering this cemetery reflect how Chinese elite interests intersected with attempts by a declining colonial power to assert control produced a cemetery like no other in Southeast Asia. L’étude des sites funéraires de Manille ouvre de nouveaux horizons sur la communauté chinoise et le régime colonial espagnol. Dans les deux premiers siècles et demi que dura cette domination, les Chinois ont été ensevelis à l’intérieur ou autour des églises ou encore sur les terrains des temples, démontrant la prérogative des autorités religieuses sur la vie de ces sujets coloniaux. Au cours du xixe siècle, l’augmentation de la population chinoise et les nouvelles conceptions de l’hygiène publique ont ouvert la voie à la création d’un cimetière public chinois extra-muros. Les règlements et les problèmes auxquels ont été confrontés les administrateurs de ce site funéraire révèlent que les intérêts de l’élite chinoise ont recoupé les ultimes tentatives de contrôle de la puissance coloniale, donnant ainsi naissance à un cimetière unique en Asie du Sud-Est.
