This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seven papers included in the first part of this volume cover diverse themes, and pertain to the different coastal regions of India where the Portuguese established themselves as conquerors, traders, settlers, adventurers and missionaries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The first essay examines the nature of social urbanism and the growth of the Portuguese city of San Thome, which was an important commercial cum religious centre in the Coromandel region during the period under review. The next essay studies aspects of agricultural production, particularly the cultivation of pepper in the Malabar region, which was a pivotal zone of Portuguese presence and their commercial activities. The third article focuses on the the role of the Portuguese in deltaic Bengal and the Arakan region where several important trade centres such as Chittagong and Hughli grew up due to the initiative of the Portuguese. The fourth paper examines the nature of responses by local society to the propagation of Christianity by the Portuguese Catholic Church in coastal western India, particularly the Goa region. The following paper focuses on the problems faced by the Society of Jesus in its functioning. It examines the changing role of the Jesuits, their Indianization and the decline of the Estado da India. The penultimate paper examines the role of ecclesiastical establishments such as the bishoprics and the misericórdia in India, as components of the overall Portuguese oceanic enterprise. The seventh and last paper pertains to the existential crisis faced by the Portuguese from the mid-seventeenth century onwards following the conquest of Portuguese settlements by the Dutch Company in the Coromandel Ceylon macro-region. It examines the emergence of the English town of Madras as a key area of settlement for the displaced Portuguese, and their emergence as a large and important segment of its population as soldiers, traders and settlers, while retaining their Portuguese Catholic identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this book hails from a Goan emigrant family and was born in British India and has had a rare exposure to British rule in India, to the Portuguese presence in Goa and to independent India, besides having lived in the United States for three years for post-graduate studies in engineering. After Independence, India raised objections to two forms of the Portuguese presence: (1) Portuguese government’s patronage over certain Catholic dioceses which had been evangelized by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century, a dispute which was quickly resolved by July 18, 1969 and (2) the Portuguese political presence in Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, which India claimed on grounds of geography and Portugal claimed on grounds of history and juridical superiority,the absence of any significant desire of the people to merge with India. The author has been privy to a full set of diplomatic exchanges with India, few other countries and within the Portuguese Government, in four volumes published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lisbon, an official de-classification, on Goa and its dependencies, 1947 to 1967, some of which have been extensively used in their complete text for better understanding in the book.

Book Synopsis The Worlds of the Indian Ocean by : Philippe Beaujard
Download or read book The Worlds of the Indian Ocean written by Philippe Beaujard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-24 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe's place in history is re-assessed in this first comprehensive history of the ancient world, centering on the Indian Ocean and its role in pre-modern globalization. Philippe Beaujard presents an ambitious and comprehensive global history of the Indian Ocean world, from the earliest state formations to 1500 CE. Supported by a wealth of empirical data, full color maps, plates, and figures, he shows how Asia and Africa dominated the economic and cultural landscape and the flow of ideas in the pre-modern world. This led to a trans-regional division of labor and an Afro-Eurasian world economy. Beaujard questions the origins of capitalism and hints at how this world-system may evolve in the future. The result is a reorienting of world history, taking the Indian Ocean, rather than Europe, as the point of departure. Volume I provides in-depth coverage of the period from the fourth millennium BCE to the sixth century CE.

Book Synopsis Religion and Empire in Portuguese India by : Ângela Barreto Xavier
Download or read book Religion and Empire in Portuguese India written by Ângela Barreto Xavier and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the colonization of Goa in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries take place? How was it related to projects for the conversion of Goan colonial subjects to Catholicism? In Religion and Empire in Portuguese India, Ângela Barreto Xavier examines these questions through a reading of the relevant secular and missionary archives and texts. She shows how the twin drives of conversion and colonization in Portuguese India resulted in a variety of outcomes, ranging from negotiation to passive resistance to moments of extreme violence. Focusing on the rural hinterlands rather than the city of Goa itself, Barreto Xavier shows how Goan actors were able to seize hold of complex cultural resources in order to further their own projects and narrate their own myths and histories. In the process, she argues, Portuguese Goa emerged as a space with a specific identity that was a result of these contestations and interactions. The book de-essentializes the categories of colonizer and colonized, making visible instead their inner-group diversity of interests, their different modes of identification, and the specificity of local dynamics in their interactions and exchanges—in other words, the several threads that wove the fabric of colonial life.

Download or read book The Portuguese in the Age of Discovery c.1340–1665 written by David Nicolle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From humble beginnings, in the course of three centuries the Portuguese built the world's first truly global empire, stretching from modern Brazil to sub-Saharan Africa and from India to the East Indies (Indonesia). Portugal had established its present-day borders by 1300 and the following century saw extensive warfare that confirmed Portugal's independence and allowed it to aspire to maritime expansion, sponsored by monarchs such as Prince Henry the Navigator. During this nearly 300-year period, the Portuguese fought alongside other Iberian forces against the Moors of Andalusia; with English help successfully repelled a Castilian invasion (1385); fought the Moors in Morocco, and Africans, the Ottoman Turks, and the Spanish in colonial competition. The colourful and exotic Portuguese forces that prevailed in these battles on land and sea are the subject of this book.

Book Synopsis The Singapore and Melaka Straits by : Peter Borschberg
Download or read book The Singapore and Melaka Straits written by Peter Borschberg and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Singapore and Melaka Straits are a place where regional and long-distance maritime trading networks converge, linking Europe, the Mediterranean, eastern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and the Indian subcontinent with key centres of trade in Thailand, Indochina, insular Southeast Asia, China, Korea and Japan. The first half of the 17th century brought heightened political, commercial and diplomatic activity to this region. It had long been clear to both the Portuguese and the Dutch that whoever controlled the waters off modern Singapore gained a firm grip on regional as well as long-distance intra-Asian trade. By the early 1600s Portuguese power and prestige were waning and the arrival of the Dutch East India Company constituted a major threat. Moreover, the rapid expansion and growing power of the Acehnese Empire, and rivalry between Johor and Aceh, was creating a new context for European trade in Asia.
