Mobilidade da população de origem europeia na América Portuguesa no século XVII: povoamento, negócios e conflitos armados

Portuguese mobility in 17th-century America was driven by strategic movements for land acquisition, trade, and conflict, with key hubs like Salvador da Bahia, Olinda, Recife, and Belém serving as both arrival points and launchpads for inland expansion. Using inquisitorial trials, the study reveals how the sugar industry, religion, and armed conflicts shaped population displacement between captaincies, illustrating the complex interplay of economic and social factors during this period.
