The slave trade, the diaspora of the Sephardic Jews, and the intercontinental spread of plants and animals all make clear these voyages' long-term global significance. \u003ci\u003eNavigations\u003c\/i\u003e reexamines these Portuguese quests by placing them in their medieval and Renaissance settings. It shows how these voyages grew out of a crusading ethos, as well as long-distance trade with Asia and Africa and developments in map-making and ship design. Malyn Newitt also narrates these voyages of discovery in the framework of Portuguese politics, describing the role of the Portuguese ruling dynasty--including its female members--in the flowering of the Portuguese Renaissance, the creation of the Renaissance state with its distinctive ideology, and in the cultural changes that took place within a wider European context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malyn Newitt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836392079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836392071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.08w x 1.40d","brand":"Malyn Newitt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47427849552127,"sku":"9781836392071","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bfa03d2-8d83-474c-940a-cccf9c1ca2e3.jpg?v=1761581982","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/navigations-malyn-newitt-9781836392071","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
