In this volume distinguished historian Kenneth Maxwell collects some of his most significant writings, following Portugal's imperial journey from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean and from the coast of Asia to the mouth of the Red Sea. Maxwell takes the reader on a lively journey from Macao to the Amazon forests-each piece in the collection is a reflection of the authors driving passions. Major themes he examines are: the peopling of the Americas, the shaking up of continents, the spirit that took a precocious Portugal into its imperial venture, the play between Portugal's' extensive imperial reach into Africa and Asia and the Americas, and the rise of Brazil and its tumultuous history.
Kenneth Maxwell holds the Nelson and David Rockefeller Chair in Inter-American Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and is the Western Hemisphere book reviewer for Foreign Affairs. Dr. Maxwell has taught at Yale, Princeton, and Columbia Universities and the University of Kansas. He was educated at Cambridge University and at Princeton.
