Nation upon the Ocean Sea - Studnicki-Gizbert, Daviken (Assistant Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, McGill University)

Traces the story of the Portuguese Nation from its emergence in the late 15th century to its fragmentation in the middle of the 17th century and situates it in relation to the expansion and crisis of Spanish imperial dominion in the Atlantic. This book reconstitutes the life of a community based on movement, maritime trade, and cultural hybridity.
