Explores the information and communication practices of the Portuguese empire in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century India
Empire of Contingency explores the information and communication practices of the Portuguese empire in late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century India--a period during which Portuguese imperial ambitions were struggling for survival, while the Mughal empire was at the height of its power and influence. Jorge Flores uncovers the tenuous but ingenious apparatuses of intelligence through which the Estado da ?ndia (the "State of the Indies," the name given to the Portuguese political administrative unit in the region between the Cape of Good Hope and East Asia) endeavored to survive in a vast Indo-Persian world shaped by the influence and power of the Mughal empire.
