Tales of Lusitania from The Folklore of Portugal
This book was significant in the development of Portuguese ethnography since it served as both a scientific study and a collection of stories for children to enjoy. Francisco Adolfo, the writer, is a philologist from Portugal. Henriqueta Monteiro has also translated this work into English. Every story in this book is unique to the European heritage. Some of the stories are quite unusual and bizarre. Overall, the storylines in the books are fairly recognizable - sometimes the entire plot, sometimes just key phrases or scenes.
Contos Populares Portugueses
Os contos que hoje publicamos formam parte de uma extensa colecção de tradições populares portuguesas reunidas por nós já, por assim dizer, estenografando-as ao saírem da boca de narradores populares, já recebendo-as escritas de pessoas de alguma instrução e de indubitável probidade, que ou as aprenderam na infância ou as ouviram depois de pessoas indoutas. Não amplificámos nenhum; não introduzimos nenhum adjectivo, nenhum ornato; cortámos apenas alguma repetição inútil; introduzimos apenas e raramente algum pronome que a reprodução escrita torna necessário. Como os contos da primeira categoria, isto é, os que nós coligimos directamente da tradição viva, foram ouvidos de preferência de pessoas que se exprimiam bem, não apresentam deturpações grosseiras de palavras; uma ou outra entendemos dever corrigi-la; conservámos, porém, as formas provinciais interessantes com todo o cuidado.

Anthropology, Nationalism and Colonialism
A major contribution to the history of European anthropology, this book highlights the Porto School of Anthropology and analyses the work of its main mentor, Mendes Correia (1888-1960). It goes beyond a Portuguese focus to present a wider comparative analysis in which the colonial empire, knowledge of origins, ethnic identity and cultural practices all receive special attention. The analysis takes into account the fact that nationalism, as associated with an ethno-racial paradigm, decisively influenced discourse and scientific and political practices.
Archives, Ancestors, Practices
In line with the resurgence of interest in the history of archaeology manifested over the past decade, this volume aims to highlight state-of-the art research across several topics and areas, and to stimulate new approaches and studies in the field. With their shared historiographical commitment, the authors, leading scholars and emerging researchers, draw from a wide range of case studies to address major themes such as historical sources and methods; questions of archaeological practices and the practical aspects of knowledge production; ‘visualizing archaeology’ and the multiple roles of iconography and imagery; and ‘questions of identity’ at local, national and international levels.
