Synopsis

"In this collection, the reader will find a different way of viewing the colonial period in Ceará when compared to the historiographical perspectives that have traditionally dictated the themes and perspectives cast on the colonial past. (...) If the territorial limits of the captaincy were taken by traditional historiography as boundaries that circumscribed and, to a large extent, limited the perspective and focus of its analyses to essentially local factors, the works that comprise this book demonstrate, through their plurality of approaches, that Colonial Ceará was, therefore, a space permeated and traversed by multiple influences and interests; a space strongly integrated and influenced by dynamics that permeated broader territorialities such as: the captaincy general of Pernambuco, the so-called "sertões do norte," Portuguese America, and the Atlantic space."
