Improvising Empire: Portuguese Trade and Settlement in the Bay of Bengal, 1500-1700 Hardcover - 1991

by Sanjay Subrahmanyam


From the publisher

While the general outline of the history of Portuguese expansion in Asia is rather well-known, many areas that were hubs of trade and settlement have been only briefly studied. One of the most conspicuous of those is the Bay of Bengal, where the Portuguese had an important official and
unofficial presence in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The product of extensive research in Indian, Portuguese, and Netherland archives, this collection of essays is the first substantial treatment of the Portuguese presence in the Bay of Bengal. The work of an economic historian, the
volume offers important insight into the nature of early modern European expansion and imperialism, urban history, and colonial social history.
