Filhos Da Terra: Mestizos Identities at the Margins of Portuguese Imperial Expansion

Filhos da Terra narrates the history over time of the so-called 'Portuguese communities' living outside the boundaries of the Portuguese Empire but identified locally and by other European empires as 'Portuguese'. António Manuel Hespanha sets the stage to analyse a process of creolization between 1415 and 1800 that warrants future critical and comparative considerations.
