4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but a little outdated., March 8, 2006
By 
Dalton C. Rocha (Fortaleza, CE, Brazil.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Portuguese Seaborne Empire (Hardcover)
I read this book translated to the portuguese, here in Brazil.This book is fun and have a lot of good informations.
The problems in this book really exists.At first it's a little outdated.It has nothing about the fail of portuguese empire in Africa, in 1970 decade, and nothing about the fall of portuguese empire in East Timor or Macau(China).Also Mr. Charles Boxer wants to show us exemples of racism from the portugueses.Well, ifthe portugueses were racists, the englishman were very deeply racists compared to they.
In XVIII century, to example, a portuguese in goverment claims that for Portugal, the man's value had nothing with skin's color, but had all with the man's value.
