Charles Boxer and the Race Equivoque
| Resumo: | CHARLES BOXER’S BOOK Race Relations in the Portuguese Colonial Empire, 1415–1825 was published in 1963 – nearly half a century ago – and has continued to be read to this day. In contrast to his other works, this short essay has found a readership beyond the circle of those who are interested in the history of the Portuguese expansion. In fact, it constitutes a singular piece of analytical debate in the work of a writer who saw himself chiefly as a descriptive historian, bibliophile and archivist and who studiously avoided political posturing. The 1963 essay, however, was conceived from the start in a polemical mode and, according to his biographer, Boxer was perfectly conscious of the impact it would have as he produced it. |
