A brief historical overview of the maritime Indian Ocean World (ancient times to 1950)
Contesting Sacred Space in the Estado da India
During the process of conquest and subjugation, Portuguese colonial enclaves in India saw assertions of religious dominance that conform to a model developed by researchers of the Antagonistic Tolerance Project, which studies, comparatively across cultures and historic eras, sacred sites that are shared and contested by different religious communities. At Goa, the Portuguese conquered a Muslim-ruled city of mainly Hindu inhabitants and rebuilt it…

Emigration and the Sea
Malyn Newitt has produced a compelling new work of scholarship, important for its innovative framing of Portuguese history on a global scale by exploring the multiple ways that, since initiating the era of European overseas expansion in 1415, a Portuguese demographic and cultural diaspora has influenced and contributed significantly to world history. The book has a novel approach, describing global Portuguese impact through complex patterns of im…
Antagonistic Tolerance
Antagonistic Tolerance examines patterns of coexistence and conflict amongst members of different religious communities, using multidisciplinary research to analyze groups who have peacefully intermingled for generations, and who may have developed aspects of syncretism in their religious practices, and yet have turned violently on each other. Such communities define themselves as separate peoples, with different and often competing interests, ye…

Africa's Moment
The Medicines Trade in the Portuguese Atlantic World

Slave Labor and Chocolate in Brazil
This article will explore the origins of commercial cacao production in Brazil, specifically as it is linked inseparably to compelled human labor—first of Native Americans employed in the Amazon rainforest and later of Africans imported for regimented plantation fieldwork in Bahia state. Coerced or enslaved labor, both Native American and African, produced almost all the cacao exported from Brazil until the latter quarter of the 19th century. Alt…

The article will examine the ambivalent place of the folk healer as a figure both central to and marginal in Portuguese popular culture. In considering some of the services offered by unlicensed popular healers and their recourse to the unorthodox magical means inherent in popular curing, the paper will in…
