Product Description
Atlantic Emporium surveys the period from Portuguese recapture of Muslim-held Lisbon in 1147 to Vasco da Gama's departure for India in 1497. The book examines Portugal's critical role in establishing a European world economy after 1500 and provides a synthesis of political, social, cultural, and economic history. There is presently no other work that offers such a concise treatment of Portugal's role in the extension of European hegemony into Iberia, Africa, the Atlantic, the Americas, and maritime Asia. With Atlantic Emporium, instructors have a brief text that is neither too summary nor imbedded in a broader survey. Although aimed at undergraduates, Atlantic Emporium will also be of great use to graduate students and specialists.
