Portugese Empire in Asia 1500 - 1700, The by S Subrahmanyam
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.
`..to be welcomed as a much-needed synthesis and an indispensable teaching aid for undergraduate courses on the Portuguese presence in the Orient.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
