Long before the concept of "globalization," the Portuguese
constructed a vast empire that extended into Africa, India, Brazil,
and mid-Atlantic territories, as well as parts of China, Southeast
Asia, and Japan. Using this empire as its starting point and
spanning seven centuries and four continents, The
Portuguese-Speaking Diaspora examines literary and artistic works
about the ensuing diaspora, or the dispersion of people within the
Portuguese-speaking world, resulting from colonization, the slave
trade, adventure seeking, religious conversion, political exile,
forced labor, war, economic migration, and tourism. Based on a
broad array of written and visual materials, including
historiography, letters, memoirs, plays, poetry, fiction,
cartographic imagery, paintings, photographs, and films, The
Portuguese-Speaking Diaspora is the first detailed analysis of the
different and sometimes conflicting cultural productions of the
imperial diaspora in its heyday and an important context for
understanding the more complex and broader-based culture of
population travel and displacement from the former colonies to
present-day "homelands." The topics that Darlene J. Sadlier
discusses include exploration and settlement by the Portuguese in
different parts of the empire; the Black Atlantic slave trade;
nineteenth-century travel and Orientalist imaginings; the colonial
wars; and the return of populations to Portugal following African
independence. A wide-ranging study of the art and literature of
these and other diasporic movements, this book is a major
contribution to the growing field of Lusophone studies.
