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.
As misericórdias das duas margens do Atlântico
A historiografia recente, mais a portuguesa que a brasileira, tem dado grande importância às Santas Casas, transformando estas instituições em objeto de estudo, dentro e fora das universidades. O movimento já tinha nascido antes da comemoração do V Centenário da Misericórdia de Lisboa, mas acelerou-se com ele e ultrapassou-o, continuando a ser objeto de estudo de muitos investigadores. No Brasil, a temática tem sido menos trabalhada na historiografia mais recente, embora se mantenha como tema de trabalho de alguns investigadores.
