Publisher's Synopsis

Interrogates a series of utopian projections that have informed Portuguese and Luso-African letters and culture since the Renaissance. This book presents a study that examines the familiar "long narrative" which casts the Portuguese Discoveries as an inaugural and enabling event in Europe's conquest of the world.
