A ÁFRICA ORIENTAL PORTUGUESA NO TEMPO DO MARQUÊS DE POMBAL 1750-1777

Fritz Hoppe

REF.36096

Year 1970

Lisbon; General Overseas Agency; In-8º of 527(1) pages; Paperback

The author's doctoral thesis offers a detailed analysis of Portuguese administration in East Africa — especially in Mozambique — during the government of the Marquis of Pombal. The work is based on numerous sources, many of them unpublished, collected in Portuguese archives, allowing the author to rigorously reconstruct the colonial policy of the 18th century. Hoppe describes the administrative, economic and military organization of the region, examines the Pombaline reforms and assesses the impact of centralizing and mercantilist measures on the territory. The study also presents a meticulous view of the relations between colonists, local authorities and African populations, contributing to a broader understanding of the Portuguese presence in East Africa and how the Pombaline project was reflected overseas. Copy with slight signs of handling on the paperback covers and spine, interior in good condition.

DOCUMENTAÇÃO PARA A HISTÓRIA DAS MISSÕES DO PADROADO PORTUGUÊS DO ORIENTE - INSULÍNDIA (5 volumes)

Artur Basílio de Sá

REF.34618

Year 1954/58

Lisbon; General Agency of the Colonies; In-8th of 5 volumes; Paperback

Set of historical documents that brings together primary sources, such as letters, reports and decrees, which narrate the activities of Portuguese missions in the East during the 16th and 17th centuries. The work details how the Portuguese, aiming to expand the Catholic faith and consolidate their political, cultural and commercial interests, established a network of missions in foreign territories. In this context, the collaboration between royal authority and the ecclesiastical hierarchy and the challenges faced in contact with local cultures are evident, reflecting both conflicts and mutual exchanges and adaptations. Thus, the material documents in a rich and detailed way the processes of colonization, evangelization and intercultural encounters that marked the History of Portuguese expansion, serving as an indispensable window for researchers interested in the complex interactions between Europe and the East.

A MÃO D´OBRA EM S. THOMÉ E PRINCIPE

Francisco Mantero

REF.27227

Year 1910

1stEdition

Lisbon; Type of Commercial Yearbook; In-4th of 200(8) pages; Illustrated; Bound

This work stands out for its graphic quality and the wealth of information about the economic and social life of the archipelago in the last years of the Monarchy. It constitutes an essential reference for the study of Portuguese colonization, and is also part of the history of the African country that achieved independence. It was published with the purpose of defending Portugal from accusations of labor exploitation in São Tomé, inserted in the context of rivalry between the European powers in African colonial expansion. Since around 1875, this dispute intensified, even leading to negotiations between England and Germany over the division of territories under Portuguese administration. The work includes 83 supplementary documents, including two geographical maps of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, one of them in color. At the end of the volume, there are 12 statistical maps that present data on workers from Mozambique, information on the National Navigation Company, movement in the islands' ports, exported products, cocoa trade and imported goods in 1905. There are also graphs on the world production and consumption of cocoa between 1894 and 1908, in addition to a survey of agricultural properties in the region. The book is enriched by 69 photographs, including images of prominent figures linked to the archipelago, such as the Royal Prince D. Luís Filipe, who visited the islands in 1907. It also presents panoramic views of the cities and photographs of the main plantations, such as Boa Entrada, Água Izé, Porto Real and Gue Gue. Copy with editorial binding in good general condition. There is slight damage to 5 pages with traces of something stuck to them, hiding around a dozen words. Other contents, engravings and maps in good condition.
