The Marrano Factory
First published in Portuguese in 1969, this is the only work by Antonio Jose Saraiva available in English and the only single-volume history devoted primarily to the working of the Portuguese Inquisition, a most lucid and compact survey. "The Marrano Factory" argues that the Portuguese Inquisition s stated intention of extirpating heresies and purifying Portuguese Catholicism was a monumental hoax; the true purpose of the Holy Office was the fabrication rather than the destruction of "Judaizers."
Gardens of Madeira—Gardens of the World
The volume Gardens of Madeira – Gardens of the World. Contemporary Approaches displays present tendencies in calling upon the idea of gardens, being a wide-range approach to their literary, sociological and cultural representations. The book`s four parts: “Madeira: A Garden in the Sea?”, “Gardens as Temporal and Spatial Category. Cultural and Literary Approaches”, “Gardens as an Expression. Socio-cultural Perspectives” and “Re-Creating the Archetypal Garden – Discourses and Practices” refer to vast geographical and cultural areas, starting with the very complex sample of the overseas-yet-European Island of Madeira, and then joining the exemplification material from histor...
Democratic Transition and Consolidation in Southern Europe, Latin America and Southeast Asia
The breakdown of authoritarian regimes in Greece, Spain and Portugal in the mid-70s was the beginning of a new cycle of democratization at the world scale. The 1980s have seen the emergence of formal, constitutional democracies in many countries, especially in Latin America and Southeast Asia. This book analyses in a comparative perspective the causes, the modalities and the prospects of these political changes in three regions: Southern Europe, Latin America and Southeast Asia.
Ricardo Severo: da arqueologia portuguesa à arquitetura brasileira
Neste livro, Joana Mello investiga a obra discursiva e projetual do engenheiro português Ricardo Severo da Fonseca e Costa (1869-1940), conhecido na historiografia da arquitetura do Brasil como precursor da neocolonial no país. A partir da leitura detida de sua obra e do contexto de sua produção, a autora identifica quais eram os parâmetros teóricos e analíticos, as motivações e compromissos sociais e políticos com os quais o engenheiro se engajou nos dois países em que viveu e atuou, Portugal e Brasil. Entendendo sua produção como uma das respostas possíveis frente às tensões históricas e aos dilemas culturais e ideológicos que afligiam os intelectuais portugueses e brasileiros na virada do século XIX para o século XX, o livro revela a riqueza e a diversidade do debate da época, problematiza o tema da nacionalidade e modernidade artística e ilumina a leitura do ecletismo, neocolonial e movimento moderno no Brasil.

Portuguese Piano Music
As the first book of its kind, Nancy Lee Harper’s Portuguese Piano Music: An Introduction and Annotated Bibliography fills the gap in the historical record of Portuguese piano music from its start in the 18th century to the present. While although Spanish piano music is well documented owing to the reputation of such composers as Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, and Manuel de Falla, our knowledge of compositions in the tradition of Portuguese piano music has not fared as well, barring the work of Carlos Seixas (1704–1742). This obscurity, however, reflects poorly on the history of early piano music in light of the many compositions written for fortepiano on behalf of the Portuguese cour...
