Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of letters and documents from the early 18th century, written between the Portuguese king and the viceroys of Portuguese India. It offers a unique glimpse into the complex relationship between the Portuguese crown and its far-flung empire in Africa. The letters reveal the challenges faced by the Portuguese in maintaining their control over the African coast, including the threat of piracy, the need to balance trade interests with religious concerns, and the difficulty of governing a vast territory with limited resources. The documents also provide valuable insights into the lives of the African peoples who came into contact with the Portuguese, and the impact of European colonialism on their societies. Ultimately, this book contributes to our understanding of the history of Portuguese imperialism and the global trade networks of the early modern world.
