On 11 June 2020 in Lisbon, 4 days after the anti-racism demonstrations that took place in several Portuguese cities following the killing of George Floyd, the statue of the Priest António Vieira (1608-1697) was splattered with red spots and inscribed with the word 'decolonise'. Considering Portugal's prominent role in the transatlantic slave trade, the country's enduring celebration of the 'Discoveries' 1 and the ever-present urban memorialization of the colonial past, it was to be expected that Portugal would be included among the countries in which there are increasing calls for the removal of symbols associated with colonialism and slavery. However, in a country where statues of key figures of Portuguese colonization, and monuments honouring the veterans of the Colonial War 2 are so abundant, it may not be obvious why activists focused their attention specifically on someone who, at first sight, appears to be a minor actor in Portuguese colonial projects. The formal inscription on Viera's statue -'Jesuit, Preacher, Priest, Politician, Diplomat, Defender of the Indians 3 and Human Rights, Fighter Against the Inquisition' -though containing inaccuracies, hints at the complexity of the priest's life, namely the dimensions that make him such a controversial figure.The statue became a target of criticism largely because it dates from 2017, a time when anti-racist activism was becoming more visible in denouncing daily racism and police violence, when new historical perspectives on colonization and scholarship on the politics of memory were gaining visibility in the media and when the brand 'African Lisbon' was enthusiastically embraced by the blossoming tourism industry. The meanings ascribed to the statue were perceived by its critics as expressing a confluence of anachronism, lack of social sensitivity and persistence in ignoring the perspectives of the colonized on colonialism. Inspired by a famous 18th-century engraving, the statue depicts Viera as a missionary who holds a cross in a gesture suggesting the brave protection of three naked Amerindian children, 4 thus emblematically reproducing colonial tropes, which reaffirm the subalternity and 'helplessness' of the colonized and the 'goodness' of the missionary project. 5 That's how, precisely through this 2017 statue, Vieira became the focus of larger contestations over memory that are ongoing in Portugal, and which juxtapose two contemporary narratives about colonial legacies: on one hand, a

“…108 O estudo das novas rotas do Atlântico equatorial é parte do debate mais geral sobre a inserção da América na Monarquia Hispânica. 109 Nesse sentido, talvez a mudança mais significativa ocorrida com a integração de Portugal a Castela seja a dinamização das redes de comunicação do Atlântico luso, fenômeno que alguns autores já chamaram de «atlantização». 110 Como consequência, ao longo das últimas décadas do século XVI a circulação de prata, escravos, madeira, açúcar tornava as relações comerciais entre as duas partes cada vez mais simbiótica, favorecendo amiúde a livre associação entre homens de negócios portugueses e espanhóis.…”

O antigo Estado do Maranhão e GrãoPará, hoje equivalente aos atuais estados da Amazônia brasileira, não pertencia às rotas de navegação para o Estado do Brasil. Durante a primeira metade do século XVII, os portugueses que habitavam essa região planejaram participar da Carreira das Índias aproveitando a facilidade de navegação até o ViceReinado do Peru e para o Caribe. Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a reação dos portugueses das zonas de fronteira com relação à integração de Portugal à Monarquia Hispânica (1580 1640)

RESUMENEn 1649 fue creada la Companhia Geral de Comércio do Brasil por parte del gobierno portugués bajo los auspicios del rey João IV. La idea primigenia fue la de atraer a los comerciantes y hombres de negocios más activos del momento para que participaran del lucrativo comercio que ofrecía el Atlántico portugués, concretamente las tierras de Brasil. De esta manera, se fomentaría el comercio internacional de Portugal con Brasil utilizando los contactos de muchos cristianos nuevos y sus redes de naturaleza transnacional. Este artículo pretende analizar el funcionamiento de la red europea de la Companhia Geral de Comércio do Brasil así como las competencias, funciones y actividades de sus agentes.
