Portugal e Brazil: emigração e colonisação is a study by D. A. Gomes Pércheiro examining the movement of people between Portugal and Brazil and the broader questions of emigration and colonisation. Written in the late nineteenth century, it addresses the economic and social dimensions of Portuguese migration across the Atlantic.
The text is in Portuguese. The work considers the causes and consequences of emigration, the relationship between the mother country and Brazil, and policies bearing on settlement and colonial development. Reflecting contemporary debates about national strength, population, and overseas territory, it offers insight into Portuguese thinking on emigration during a period of significant transatlantic movement. The volume is of interest to readers of Lusophone history and the wider history of migration in the Portuguese-speaking world.
