(Professor Russell-Wood's detailed studies of Brazilian so...)
Professor Russell-Wood's detailed studies of Brazilian social history in the colonial era have long been recognised as model contributions to the history of class, race, gender and religion. This collection combines work on particular persons and groupings with survey articles on the role of the port and the frontier in colonial Brazil and on its historiography. The author describes the administration and structure of government, and the realities of royal power, with examples drawn from the port cities and the mining townships of the interior, then moves on to examine the interplay of class, religion and race with reference to brotherhoods of persons of African descent and the racially exclusive Third Orders. One group who overcame legal, physical and social constraints were women who, whether of European or African descent, contributed decisively to the economy and society of Brazil. To conclude, there are accounts of three individuals, each of whose experiences illustrate facets of the judicial system, governance and education in Portugal's richest colony. Les etudes detaillees du professeur Russell-Wood sur l'histoire sociale bresilienne durant la periode coloniale ont longtemps ete reconnues comme un modele de contribution a histoire des classes, des races, des genres et des religions. Cette collection allie des travaux au sujet d'individus specifiques et de groupements a des resumes d'enquete sur la role du port et de la frontiere dans le Bresil colonial et dans son historiographie. L'auteur decrit l'administration et la structure gouvernementale, ainsi que les realites du pouvoir royal, s'appuyant d'exemples tires des cites portuaires et des communes minieres de l'interieur. Il passe ensuite a l'examen de l'interaction des classes, des religions et des races en faisant reference aux liens de fraternite qui unissaient les personnes de descendance africaine, ainsi qu'aux Troisiemes Ordres qui pratiquaient une politique d'exclusion raciale. Un groupe parmi les autres, qui a reussi a surmonter les contraintes legales, physiques et sociales, est celui des femmes; qu'elles soient d'origine europeenne ou africaine, elles ont contribue de facon decisive a l'economie et a la societe bresilienne. Pour terminer, vient s'ajouter l'histoire de trois individus, dont chacune des experiences illustrent certaines facettes du systeme judiciaire, gouvernemental et educatif de la plus riche des colonies portugaises.

(A survey of royal government in the Portuguese, Spanish, ...)
A survey of royal government in the Portuguese, Spanish, English and French seaborne empires in Africa, the Americas and Asia. Essays focus on four facets of such government: political, judicial, fiscal and military administration. Essays may be consulted for an overview of any single empire, or for a comparative dimension to any single aspect. Attention is given to the role of non-Europeans in crown government. The introduction provides an overview of metropolitan agencies for overseas government and of crown agencies in the colonies, redresses imbalances in the historiography and provides an exhaustive bibliography. The text is intended as a starting point for scholars seeking a global perspective on the "first" European empires and a teaching tool.

( This is the story of the first and one of the greatest ...)
This is the story of the first and one of the greatest colonial empires: its birth, apotheosis, and decline. By approaching the history of the Portuguese empire thematically, A. J. R. Russell-Wood is able to pursue ideas and make connections that previously have been constrained by strict chronological approaches. Using the study of movement as a focus, Russell-Wood gains unique insight into the diversity, breadth, and balance between the competing interests and priorities that characterized the Portuguese culture and its expansion spanning four centuries' events on four different continents.
