Description

This book is a collective work based on international collaboration between Indian, American, French and Portuguese Scholars. It reflects emerging trends in the study of Euro-Asian interaction in the ' Age of Discoveries ', and has a focus on India in particular.

Eight eminent authors combine the newly revised idea of ' biography as social history ', with a number of fresh approaches deriving from hermeneutics and textual criticism. It contributes to the study of early modern Indian ocean trade, Portuguese colonialism and comparative early modern history.

The present volume first appearing as a special issue of the journal SANTA BARBARA PORTUGUESE STUDIES, 1995 contributes to the study of early modern Indian ocean trade, Portuguese colonialism, and comparative early modern history.
