Recife. 1935. - BARBOSA (Artur Alves) CAPITANIA de Duarte Coelho e a Obra da Colonização Portuguesa no Brasil . Monografia comemorativa do IV Centenário da Fundação da Capitania de Pernambuco. Recife: Gabinete Português de Leitura, 1935. 220 pp.; 195 mm. Commemorative monograph of the 4th centenary of the founding of the Captaincy of Pernambuco, granted by King John III to Duarte Coelho in 1534 and administered by him between 1535 and 1555, one of the fifteen hereditary captaincies into which the Brazilian territory was divided at the beginning of the systematic Portuguese settlement in America. The work analyzes the colonization process of Pernambuco under Duarte Coelho, a captaincy that, unlike most others, established itself as a success story, based on the introduction of sugarcane cultivation and successful resistance to indigenous attacks and French incursions, becoming a model for the expansion of Portuguese colonization in Brazil. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
