Rio de Janeiro: Tempo Brasileiro, 1967. 164 pp.; 210 mm. Brazilian translation, with an introduction by Vamireh Chacon, of Race Relations in the Portuguese Colonial Empire, 1415-1825 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1963), one of the most influential and controversial texts in the historiography of 20th-century Portuguese colonialism. In this work, Boxer questions, based on extensive archival documentation, the myth of harmonious racial integration between the Portuguese and colonized peoples, a myth primarily supported by Gilberto Freyre's Lusotropicalist thesis and the historiography sympathetic to the Salazar regime. He covers four centuries of racial relations in the Portuguese empire, from 1415 to 1825, analyzing practices of discrimination, miscegenation, and the ideological justifications of colonialism in Africa, India, and Brazil. A fundamental work for the historiographical debate on Portuguese colonialism, still widely cited and esteemed by researchers in the field today. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
