Portuguese Trade in Asia Under the Habsburgs, 1580–1640
This fascinating history reassesses the consequences of Portugal's flourishing private trade with Asia, including increased tensions between the growing urban merchant class and the still-dominant landed aristocracy. James C. Boyajian shows how Portuguese-Asian commerce formed part of a global trading network that linked not only Europe and Asia but also—for the first time—Asia, West Africa, Brazil, and Spanish America. He also argues that, contrary to previous scholarly opinion, nearly half of the Portuguese-Asian trade was controlled by New Christians—descendants of Iberian Jews forcibly converted to Christianity in the 1490s.

This book is a volume in the Penn Press Anniversary Collection. To mark its 125th anniversary in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania Press rereleased more than 1,100 titles from Penn Press's distinguished backlist from 1899-1999 that had fallen out of print. Spanning an entire century, the Anniversary Collection offers peer-reviewed scholarship in a wide range of subject areas.
Diasporas within a Diaspora
This volume is concerned with the religious, social and commercial 'networking' methods extending over a large part of the world, ranging from the Near East to South America, used by the western Sephardic Jewish diaspora - and the linked 'New Christian' diaspora (in lands where the Inquisition prevailed)- from the mid sixteenth to the mid eighteenth century. Particular attention is given to the role of these unique diasporas in the functioning of the six great European world maritime empires of the time - the Venetian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, English and French. New material and argument is offered relating to the questions of diaspora formation, Sephardic social practices, crypto-Judaism, religious syncretism, cross-cultural brokerage, and the contribution of diasporas to European expansion.
Así trocaste tu gloria
Este libro es el resultado del I Premio de Investigación Histórica para Jóvenes Historiadores, convocado por la Cátedra de Estudios Hispánicos «Antonino Fernández y Cinia González» del Instituto de Historia Simancas de la Universidad de Valladolid. La obra propone un viaje a través de la vida política de la Carrera de Indias en el siglo XVII. Invita a entrar en la Corte para conocer las decisiones del rey y sus ministros y a recorrer las calles de las principales ciudades que comerciaban con América, a fin de descubrir las reacciones y aspiraciones de los cargadores a Indias. A lo largo de ese trayecto asoman muchos de los problemas que atenazaron aquel tiempo, especialmente las guerras que la Monarquía Hispánica sostuvo en Europa, cuya financiación condicionó el diálogo entre la Corona y los vasallos y afectó seriamente a la economía atlántica.
