| Description: |
This text examines the Portuguese empire in Asia between 1500 and 1700. Amongst the areas covered are: early modern Asia - geo-politics and economic change; the mid-16th-century "crisis"; the empire in retreat, 1610-1665; and Portuguese Asian society. |
| Synopsis: |
Portugal, a tiny nation with around a million inhabitants, created a world empire between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries which left vestiges in Africa and Asia as late as the 1970s. To illuminate the Asian dimension of this empire -- to show how it came into being and how it changed over time -- Dr Subrahmanyam explores the interaction of international and local factors in Europe, Asia and East Africa alike. This is a major contribution to the early modern history of Asia, as well as to the study of European expansion. |
