The Confraternities of Misericórdia and the Portuguese Diasporas in the Early Modern Period
During the early modern period, the brotherhoods of Misericórdia were established not only in the overseas territories ruled by the Portuguese, but also beyond their empire, reaching as far as the Philippines and Japan. The twelve chapters of this book examine this expansion by discussing different dimensions of the Misericórdias, such as administration, politics, charitable practices, finances, and forms of discrimination related to social status, gender, and race. Filling a critical gap in anglophone scholarship on the Portuguese Misericórdias, this work's previous absence has been criticized by scholars who believe the Misericórdias are crucial to understanding the past and present of Portuguese communities, both at home and abroad. Contributors are: Inês Amorim, José Pedro Paiva, Lisbeth Rodrigues, Sara Pinto, Juan O. Mesquida, Rômulo Ehalt, Joana Balsa de Pinho, Andreia Durães, Maria Antónia Lopes, Luciana Gandelman, Isabel dos Guimarães Sá, and Renato Franco.

História breve das Misericórdias Portuguesas, 1498-2000
A longevidade das misericórdias, a sua importância na sociedade portuguesa e a sua capacidade de se adaptarem a novas circunstâncias políticas, religiosas e culturais merecem um estudo que tente delinear as suas principais linhas evolutivas. É nesse sentido que convergem os esforços das duas autoras que levaram a cabo uma tentativa de apresentar em traços largos a sua história de mais de quinhentos anos. Formadas num momento de grande prosperidade económica nacional, o reinado de D. Manuel I (1495-1521), com o intuito de praticar as catorze obras de misericórdia do catecismo cristão, as misericórdias portuguesas cedo se transformaram numa instituição abrangente e polifacetada, ...
Portuguese Colonial Cities in the Early Modern World
Portuguese Colonial Cities in the Early Modern World is a collection of essays on the cities of the Portuguese empire written by the leading scholars in the field. The volume, like the empire it analyzes, has a global scope and a chronological span of three centuries. The contributions focus on the social, political, and economic aspects of city life in settlements as far apart as Rio de Janeiro, Mozambique Island, and Nagasaki. As well as sparking further comparisons between cities found within the Portuguese empire, this collection also raises important issues that will be of interest to historians of other European empires, as well as urban historians generally.
