Beyond the immeasurable political and economic changes it brought,
colonial expansion exerted a powerful effect on Portuguese culture.
And as this book demonstrates, the imperial culture that emerged
over the course of four centuries was hardly a homogeneous whole,
as triumphalist literature and other cultural forms mingled with
recurrent doubts about the expansionist project. In a series of
illuminating case studies, Ramada Curto follows the history and
perception of major colonial initiatives while integrating the
complex perspectives of participating agents to show how the
empire's life and culture were richly inflected by the operations
of imperial expansion.
