Convicts and Orphans: Forced and State-Sponsored Colonizers in the Portuguese Empire, 1550-1755
Timothy J. Coates
This book examines how the early modern Portuguese state used convicts and orphans to populate its global empire. In addition, it addresses the issue of gender in the state's use of two distinct groups of single women as colonizers, orphan girls and reformed prostitutes, each given state-awarded dowries if they agreed to relocate overseas.
